Plot

After a breakup, American Thompson is on holiday from his work for Koestler Industries and arrives in Claybourne. He starts to investigate the death of behavioural psychologist Helen, working for Koestler on a secret project with commercial as well as military applications. He teams up with Mata and Mike of the Te Whenua o Te Irirangi-people and local bartender Karen.

Cast

Production

The sound was designed by Andrew Dubber and Sean James Donnelly. The music was performed by Victoria Kelly and Joost Langeveld.

The show was designed with a story arc spanning a full year in mind, but was cancelled after six months and ending the show on a cliffhanger. In 2006, Dubber sketched what he remembered of how the writers and producers imagined it may have continued.[1]

Airing and later release

The show aired four days a week just after 15:00 and with a repeat at 01:00.

Andrew Dubber later released the work under a Creative Commons license (by-nc 2.0) on Bandcamp as free download around 2006.[1]

Awards

Claybourne won "Best Dramatic Production of the Year" at the 1999 New Zealand Radio Awards.
