LOVERS IN THE FOG

By Hamlet Sarkissian

Set in the late 80s, Hamlet Sarkissian’s LOVERS IN THE FOG podcast series is told by the candid voice of human rights attorney Luke Forsyth who embarks on a solo drive up the east coast of the United States to rendezvous with the love of his life, a mystery woman who went missing a decade before. As Luke’s obsessive journey unfolds, the foggy road provides Luke with an empty canvas upon which he paints his memories: his old love affair, his young family, his efforts to extricate dissidents from Gorbachev’s Russia.

"The sound of her laughter was so crystal clear, it was almost biblical. People sounded different in biblical times.
