A remarkable ensemble of Latinx actors, rich with talent, narrates this dark tale of a utopia gone wrong in a vivid and emotionally charged performance. A hurricane hits Puerto Rico with large-scale death and destruction. The survivors attempt to build a new society led by madman Urayoán. Gabriel S. Rivera Vázquez voices Urayoán with a deep, raspy voice that pairs well with the increasing brutality. Survivors, narrated by the talented María Victoria Martínez, Diana Pou, and Jesús E. Martínez, to name a few, are horrified by what is happening; the lack of resources on the island has them trapped. Vico Ortiz shines as Bayfish, whose vocal distress conveys an increasingly desperate situation. A.M. 2023 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
