About Black Toad
With more twists than a bag of fusilli, Black Toad is where dark comedy meets gothic revenge thriller, putting bodies in bags, burgers on the table, and three decades of misery put to bed. In beautiful rural Cornwall.
A true eye for an eye thriller!
A psychologist arrives in the humble Cornish village of Trebrowagh (Tree-Brow-ugh), his assignment, to bring closure to a cold missing child’s case. But in a place where silence has weight and smiles hide secrets, the doctor finds significantly more than faded memories.
Sent by Devon and Cornwall Police’s Historic Crime Division, the psychologist is tasked with conducting a series of interviews with a guarded and socially awkward local family. As part of a concerted effort to understand and unravel the mystery, he undertakes to get under the skin, and into the heads of Edern, Wenna and Jago Hawkey. As he digs deeper, long buried lies begin to surface as the echoes of 1991 refuse to stay dead.
Driven by trauma, survival, and a desperate need to reclaim his own identity, the psychologist’s quest for the truth may be his only chance to recover his voice, stolen from him as a child. But justice has its own strange way of creeping back to life. And , sometimes we should be very, very careful what we wish for…
