Synopsis

Over in the tiny, remote hamlet of Cwmtaff, human science is again being bold, pushing the boundaries and asking for trouble. The Discovery Drilling Project has burrowed 21km into the Earth, deeper than ever before. However something is digging up, from way further beneath their feet than 21km.
