About this listen

Britain, the not-too-distant future. Idir is taking the British Citizenship Test. He wants his family to belong.

Twenty-five questions to determine his fate. Twenty-five chances to impress. When the test takes an unexpected and tragic turn, Idir is handed the power of life and death.

How do you value a life when all you have is multiple choice?

Critic Reviews

Phenomenal

This was executed brilliantly and the wonderful narration by Neil Shah made it a 5 star audio experience.
