As their investigations in haunted churches, underground bunkers and abandoned hospitals with homemade ghost-detecting equipment carry on, they’ll endure more frequent supernatural experiences that are terrifying and even grow deadly. The adventure will lead them down a dark path as they begin to uncover a conspiracy theory that could ignite Armageddon for the human race.

Mixing hilarity with horror, Truth Seekers is set in a world filled with dread and monsters lurking just out of sight. Frost stars as Gus and Pegg portrays Dave alongside fellow cast members Samson Kayo as Elton, Malcolm McDowell as Richard, Emma D’Arcy as Astrid and Susan Wokoma as Helen.
