Lights

Feeling her stardom fading, struggling soap-actress Adele Rafferty is ready to give up on her dreams when she gets a last-minute offer to play the lead in upcoming horror film Final Draft. Could this be her big break? Will she have redemption for what happened the last time she was on a film set? Adele doesn't think twice before signing the dotted line.

Camera

Adele quickly makes her way to set, deep into the isolated and wintry woods of West Cork, Ireland, miles away from civilization and cell service.

Action

When real life on set starts to somehow mirror the sinister events portrayed in the script, Adele fears the real horror lies off the page. Isolated and unsure who in the crew she can trust, is there anywhere or any time left to run?

      Starred review from August 8, 2022
      After a breakdown on a movie set, Irish actor Adele Rafferty, the narrator of this superior thriller from Howard (56 Days), moved to L.A., where she’s been reduced to reception desk duty at a motel and auditioning for commercials. Then she gets a call out of the blue inviting her to star in the psychological horror picture Final Draft being made in West Cork. The caller states that filming was to start the very next day, but the lead actress has just quit. Delighted that news of her breakdown hadn’t reached the filmmakers, Rafferty accepts and flies to Ireland overnight. An encouraging text from her former agent leaves Adele comfortable that Final Draft is legit. But when she arrives in the isolated location for the shoot, she gets an anonymous message warning her that things aren’t safe for her. That ominous communication presages some creepy doings on the set that place her sanity and life at risk. Howard makes her lead’s experiences feel fresh and immediate as she breathes new life into tired horror tropes. Riley Sager fans will be riveted. Agent: Sara O’Keefe, Aevitas Creative Management.

      An ensemble cast presents a complicated thriller with an atmospheric nod to gothic horror. Adele Rafferty, portrayed by Alana Kerr Collins, is an actress who gets a second chance at stardom by landing the lead in a new horror movie called FINAL DRAFT. But Adele's inner alarms are sent into overdrive when she finds similarities between her own life and the movie's script. She worries that she's having another nervous breakdown, and listeners will wonder that, too. Narrator Gary Furlong delivers stage directions from the script in a straightforward voice, helping to move the plot to its unexpected end. Overall, the cast weaves these elements into a well-told story that listeners will enjoy. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
