FREEFALL

Karissa Vacker, as Allison, commands our attention from her first words. After a private plane crashes into a mountainside in Colorado, Allison awakens to find the pilot dead and her instincts on high alert. With the skill of one familiar with the outdoors, she gathers whatever supplies she can and flees the crash site. We sense she’s running from something, but what? Enter narrator MacLeod Andrews, menacing and devious as The Man. As Allison’s estranged mother, Maggie, Hillary Huber is also completely convincing and compelling. Maggie learns of the crash and Allison’s presumed death, but since there are no remains, she refuses to believe it. As Maggie uncovers her daughter’s secret life and Allison eludes The Man, author Barry and all three narrators keep listeners spellbound. S.J.H.
