THE COLD PLUNGE
A radio play, in four acts
By Sunny Bleckinger

The story follows mail carriers in a fictional Alaskan town riddled by moose, which the residents believe are their dead relatives. This belief was passed down for generations: jump through a hole in a frozen lake, and you too can become a moose. But some say it’s a lie. Some say that people are dying in that lake. Dying for nothing. Or worse. To hide a dark secret.

The Cold Plunge explores how a deep-seeded, unfounded belief system can tighten and strain the bonds of family and community. The story is punctuated with jolts of humor, bursts of action, and tender moments of romance and heartbreak.
