You said you needed a new start…
So this is it, Derby, an alternative history.
Elle disappeared, again. Her brother, Kay, has traced her to Derby. He discovers the hidden messages she’s left him around the city, like an Easter egg hunt or trail of breadcrumbs.
Elle’s been pretty creative with the truth, so grab your headphones and listen in to her unique take on the world around you.
