Plot Synopsis

Created and written by Sarah-Kate Lynch, THE SOUNDS is a one-hour drama series that centers on Maggie and Tom, a happily married Canadian couple, who move to a sleepy harborside town in New Zealand to start a new life -- to escape the husband's oppressive family and launch his own business venture, a sustainable salmon fishery. Tom hopes to revive the local troubled economy, but not everyone in the community welcomes the change. But Tom disappears after he goes out kayaking from their sailboat. Maggie is devastated when senior constable Jack downgrades the search for Tom to a recovery mission. Tom's father, Frank, sends their accountant, Esther, to New Zealand to represent the wealthy Cabbott family. Meanwhile, Tom takes shelter out in an abandoned building, but a severe injury and limited water supply compromise his plan. Soon, unsettling facts about Tom come to light, and the search brings long-buried wounds to the surface. As Maggie struggles to navigate the escalating events, it becomes clear that in this small, seemingly close-knit community of Pelorus, nothing and no one are quite what they seem. Grieving wives, cheating husbands, epic embezzlement, and historic crime all collide to weave a complicated web stretching through the Sounds' hidden valleys and deep waters. On Thursday, September 3, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Acorn TV released the first two episodes of THE SOUNDS. A new episode debuts each subsequent Monday, beginning September 7.
