A third-person audiopod narrated by Scoot McNairy from the duo who brought you the two hit podcasts, OUTLIERS and CROOKED RIVER.
Rayo is a convicted murderer a third of the way through a twenty-year prison sentence. He passes his time in his cell gazing through the bars at the distant trees, because the only thing brain-damaged Rayo loves in this world is the color green. When his prison transport bus overturns on a mountain highway, Rayo flees into the forest. But when he comes across a young boy—brutalized by his father and left chained to a tree—Rayo is forced to choose between rescuing the boy and preserving his own precious freedom. Rayo decides to help the boy. And then things get complicated.
