The Darkest Universe is a strange comedy drama about grief, obsession and the unknown. Zac is a hapless young trader who leaves the city to search the canals of Britain for his sister Alice, her boyfriend Toby and their disappearing narrowboat.
When the police find no trace of Alice, Toby or the boat, Zac begins a solo campaign to raise public awareness. His increasingly unhinged video blogs at FindAlice.com show a lonely and frustrated man who's losing hope and his grip on reality. Zac's search for his sister becomes a search for himself.
