Before Torchwood. Before The X Files. There was The Omega Factor.

For ten weeks in 1979, a TV Show brought nightmares to an entire nation. Now 36 years later, The Omega Factor is back — on audio.

Louise Jameson returns in the role of Dr Anne Reynolds: head of Department 7, a government initiative committed to the study of psychic and supernatural phenomena.

Department 7 has been deemed an anachronism by the government, who are preparing to wind it down — but all this may change when a young man called Adam (John Dorney) enters Anne’s life.

Adam has a connection with Anne's past — and to her future. An evil presence is emerging across Scotland, pushing Anne and Adam to the brink of their abilities. Together, they must work to uncover the secret of Adam's special powers; before forces from outside reality tear them apart.

Meanwhile, in a church in Edinburgh, something terrible awaits...
