Plot Synopsis

Each one-hour episode SEARCHING FOR SECRETS goes back in time to uncover buried tales in one city, following local guides and historians on a journey that is both travel expose and urban mystery. Every great metropolis has its secrets, some tucked away in the annuls of history and others hidden in plain sight. From the single golden fire hydrant in San Francisco to the strange shape of London's black cab to Berlin's pink pipes, city landmarks often embody unknown stories, some whimsical, some sinister, but all fascinating in their own way.
