In the dead of winter, the kidnapping of a young boy results in fatal consequences in the supernatural thriller Whisper.
All Max Truemont (Josh Holloway, star of TV's smash hit Lost) wants is a chance to make a fresh start with his fiancée Roxanne...but a bank loan is not easy to get when you're a felon who's previously been convicted of manslaughter.
Max's last resort--and only remaining choice--is to team up with two shady associates hired by an absent mastermind to kidnap the son of one of the richest women in the state. After Max abducts the eight-year-old, he joins Roxanne and the fellow conspirators on an eerie, unsettling drive to their secluded winter hideout, an abandoned summer camp.
As they await ransom instructions, the group begins to turn on each other as past suspicions, betrayals and secrets inexplicably come into play. When the escalating events take a horrific turn, it soon becomes apparent to Max that the child may not be the innocent he first appeared to be.

The show never broke through the surface of network television because it was too slow to reveal it's underlying mystery. By the time episode 12 came around (wherein we learn of the creature's origins) people stopped watching the show. The first 11 episodes montaged various encounters with a new species, none of which were particularly scary or wondrous.
For lack of better writing, characters often make ridiculously stupid decisions to heighten the drama ('our home-made submarine is taking on water, but lets keep sinking so it'll be really tense when we inevitably get stuck at the bottom of the ocean'). Most of the characters were unrealistic and unbearable. Furthermore, the subplot of "Nimrod the mysterious pet" served only to postpone any enlightening information Daughtery might discover about the creature whilst trying to prove its existence. Had episode 12 actually been episode 2, Surface might've had a chance.
Bottom Line: Glaciers move faster than this plot and are probably more interesting to watch.
