TORCHWOOD: IN THE SHADOWS

When a 24-year-old goes missing and is found dead two days later—in the body of a 71-year-old man—the police turn to Jack Harkness. He begins a race against time to find the perpetrator, a lone cab driver with a box of matches who condemns Jack to "go to hell." As a result, Jack is thrust into a dark dimension, and the rest of Torchwood must find a way to save him. A haunting score and riveting performance led by Eve Myles combine for a taut and thrilling experience. Unlike other recent Torchwood titles, this is an audio program and not a radio play, a format that is especially well suited to the story's dark content.
