In the summer of 1998, one man finds himself in a strange seaside town on England's east coast, in search of an old flame. But when tragedy strikes, Russell Coldron becomes embroiled in a sinister mystery at the heart of Kingstide. The Tide is a story about love, loss, and alienation in the not-so-distant past. Each episode of the podcast is partially improvised through the use of a roleplaying game, with the narrator and the protagonist working together to discover the truth.
