Synopsis
Eskew is a city of steep and winding streets, where the rain seemingly never stops ans the buildings change at will. David, the narrator (voiced by Jon Ware), is from our world, but has found himself trapped in this living, murderous city, unable to find his way home. With escape impossible, David documents his bizarre, often mind-bending experiences in a series of endless recording, hoping that someone - anyone - will hear them. In this twisted city, nothing is what it seems, and the strange population that David meets there - the journalist, obsessed with the letters she receives, the architect who won't talk about the building they designed, the mysterious woman intent on burning Eskew to the ground - know more than they let on. Over time, we begin to hear from Riyo (voiced by Muna Hussen), an investigator in London who’s been hired to search for David - and finds herself drawn into the weird orbit of Eskew.
