The Family Tree

Author: Adamthwaite & Pickering

When podcast producer Dave Pickering is approached by his dad with a mystery from the life of a long-forgotten friend, he decides to investigate it in the only way he knows how: by having conversations. Mark Sullivan, who went missing 15 years ago, has been found dead. His body still has the arm he should have lost in a car accident and seems to have died eight years before he disappeared. In a series of 12 episodes, Dave tries to uncover this mystery through conversations with Marks family and friends. As he gets to know them, his questions lead to more questions the mystery runs deeper than anyone imagined. The Family Tree is a magical realist drama about family, belonging, change and identity.
