TEASER: Dimo Duck

Silver Podcast Network

Sophie is the best dang babysitter in Hatfield, New York. Tonight seems like it's going to be a breeze. But there's something different about little Leo Brown…

Series Description: Little kids have been disappearing all over the country. The only thing linking the cases to each other is that all of the kids were watching a popular cartoon show called Dimo Duck when they disappeared.

We’ll meet journalism student Lori Lane, who is trying to prove herself at an internship with an online news outlet -- and who seems to be the only one who has connected the dots. Her bosses have shot down her Dimo Duck investigation (“QUACK QUACK QUACK”), calling it a crazy conspiracy theory. And then, one of her little sister’s babysitting charges goes missing while watching the show.

When Lori goes to talk to her sister, Sophie, something is clearly wrong -- she seems like she’s hiding something. Dimo has said to Sophie: Your sister’s coming, lie to her, and if you don’t, I’ll take another one of your kids. Sophie tells Lori to check teacher Anne Pumphrey.

Anne has been on the case longer than Lori, and she shares some valuable information: kids Sophie’s age have started receiving blackmail App messages from someone claiming to be Dimo Duck himself -- a very warped, terrifying version of Dimo. Anne suspects that her students are at risk as well.

Lori rushes to warn her sister -- but she’s too late. Sophie has disappeared.

Over the first season, we’ll follow Lori as she tries to rescue her sister and build toward a terrifying finale -- Lori’s showdown with... TWIST... Dimo Duck himself. Instead of a human, Dimo is a supernatural being, spawned by the internet, collecting children to his “flock.” Lori sees her sister, but can’t save her -- and watches her follow Dimo into the abyss.

Ultimately, Dimo will lose, but not without a body count. And we will learn something about ourselves, society, and the internet.
