About the Show: Between Heartbeats is a Fantasy/Sci-Fi scripted audiodrama set in a world where trauma can unlock hidden abilities. Our story follows Sundiata, a guilt-ridden time manipulator, and Nadia, a moralistic telepath, as they balance frayed mental health against an unsympathetic police state. But when a malevolent presence rears its head, their neuroses become the least of their problems. Can our heroes make the most of their abilities before the option is taken from them?
