Phoenix Blue
Synopsis
A young journalist sets out to solve the mystery that is Phoenix Blue. Following a fragile lead, she is drawn into the world of Internet cyber-hacking and the dangerous sport of freediving. In her pursuit of the ultimate story, she loses almost everything - her career, her identity, her life.
Her belief pays off as Rachel reaches the Caribbean, where she discovers a complex young man living on a super yacht under the control of a ruthless woman. Events then spin out of control, resulting in murder, intrigue and the unravelling of Phoenix Blue.

Wren is interviewed for a job at Brixham Fish Market. Gary shows her around and tells her to come back tomorrow, for the night shift. A few hours into the shift and Wren is flagging, she enjoys a moment of calm whilst smoking outside - until she is confronted with Cali, who wants a lighter and a chat. The next few nights, sleepless days and awkward interactions blur into each other until Cali greets Wren with a coffee and cigarette for the usual 2am slump. Wren is disgusted when realising Cali has spiked her coffee with brandy. Steph shows Wren how to fillet. Cali rushes to help, standing behind Wren, he places his hands on hers.Wren shrinks down, motionless, allowing Cali to puppeteer her, forcing his groin into her from behind. Wren empties her locker, she’s not coming back. She leaves, only to find Cali waiting for her, unbuckling his belt. Wren waits until his trousers are down, walks over to him, without breaking eye contact and guts Cali like a fish. She makes use of the “Monster Industrial Chum Grinder”, to dismember Cali’s body, discarding the chum into the sea at sunrise. She gracefully enters the sea herself, cleansed.
