With the original audio drama stemming from Two-Up Production and released in July 2015, the Serial/X-Files hybrid Limetown follows American Public Radio (APR) journalist Lia Haddock (Biel) as she unravels the mystery behind the disappearance of over 300 people at a neuroscience research facility in Tennessee.

Here's a listen at the first episode of Limetown's first season, 'What We Know':

Limetown season 1, episode 1: "What We Know": Ten years ago, over three hundred men, women and children disappeared from a small town in Tennessee, never to be heard from again. American Public Radio reporter Lia Haddock asks the question once more, "What happened to the people of Limetown?"
