Alibi's latest offering comes in the form of crime drama The Red King, which follows police sergeant Grace Narayan, who's sent on a 'punishment posting' to the island of St. Jory in Wales. When she arrives, she's met with the unsolved case of a missing teenager, hostile locals, and the island's strange cult history connecting to a pagan called The Red King.
The synopsis teases: "The Red King is a character-driven mystery-thriller that combines the powerful story of a knotty police investigation with chilling, atmospheric folk-horror through the island's eerie past devotion to a pagan God called the Red King and the cult of the True Way."
