The Story Behind catskull

At the heart of catskull is Ram, a young man largely invisible to the city around him. Feeling overlooked and disconnected, his life takes a dramatic turn when Kass, his best friend, faces escalating abuse at home.

Ram dons a mask to confront her abuser, stepping into a world where the lines between right and wrong blur:

A Quest for Justice: Ram’s initial motivation is protective — seeking to shield Kass from harm.
The Thrill of Significance: After his first night behind the mask, Ram becomes addicted to the sense of power and control he experiences.
Morality in Grey: The narrative explores the tension between vigilantism, obsession, and the consequences of taking justice into one’s own hands.

The series asks urgent questions: How far would you go to protect someone you love? And what happens when that act of protection becomes a dangerous addiction?

Production Excellence and Creative Team

Directed by Roshan Singh Sambhi, known for his work as lead producer, co-writer, and assistant director on DC High Volume: Batman, catskull delivers an immersive audio experience that pulls listeners into Ram’s world.

Key production highlights include:

Sound Design: Crafted by Nathaniel Mah, the audio experience makes every alley, echo, and heartbeat tangible.
Music Composition: Emmy Award-winner Marcus Thorne Bagala and Jamie Leidwinger provide a haunting score that elevates tension and emotional depth.
Innovative Storytelling: Listeners experience Ram’s psychology intimately — one moment empathizing, the next confronting shocking actions.

According to Sambhi:
“What drew us to catskull was the incredibly intimate character-led story at its heart. Audio immerses you in Ram’s lived experience; you might understand him completely one moment, then be shocked the next. That tension gets at the urgent questions this book is asking about what drives someone to desperate action.”
