Ben Percy, writer of the scripted podcast and who is responsible for other works relating to Nightwing, Green Arrow, and the Teen Titans, describes the show in a recent press release:
This is a story about deception, unreliability, identity, atonement, and man in the wild and the wild in man. Every character has a secret. Every scene has a question mark at the end of it. And I can't wait for you to hear the phenomenal actors who have brought the story to life -- and the next-level sound design that make this audio drama like nothing you've ever heard. SNIKT!
