The Shining Guest

A body found in the Welsh hills turns out to be thousands of years old, revealing a world of hidden guests. Stars Alex Tregear.

Following an anonymous tip off, a body is discovered in the Welsh hills.

At first thought to be a recent murder victim because of items found with the body, analysis reveals it to be thousands of years old.

A series of events are triggered which appear to reveal a parallel world - like the shining guest ants which inhabit wood ants' nests and seem invisible to their highly aggressive hosts, and have existed at the edges of our reality throughout time.

Haunting and atmospheric drama - recorded on location.

Written and narrated by Paul Evans.
