Synopsis:

Seven miles below the ocean’s surface something has awakened. The crew of the Kepler mining operaƟ on understood there would be hardships on their mission: Thirty days confi ned to the narrow corridors and cramped cabins of an undersea rig built to withstand the incredible pressures of drilling at the boƩ om of the ocean. But in the aŌ ermath of a devastaƟ ng earthquake, all hell breaks loose. Alarms shriek and wail as torrents of water explode through the reinforced concrete structure with unimaginable force, tearing it apart in a maƩ er of seconds.

Through her quick thinking and resourcefulness, electrical engineer Norah Price manages to save herself and stave off imminent disaster, but at great cost. Unable to send a distress call, and with their escape submarine destroyed, things look bleak for Norah and the other few survivors. She and the remaining crew—the captain, Lucien, marine biology student Emily, operaƟ ons expert Smith, systems manager Rodrigo and resident smart-ass Paul—are leŌ with no good opƟ ons. Their only shot at survival lies in walking across the ocean fl oor toward a distant, abandoned rig, the Roebuck, and hoping that its communicaƟ on equipment is sƟ ll in good working order, or that there are enough escape pods to take them all to safety. But their perilous journey is made even more treacherous as they begin to suspect that they’re not alone beneath the waves. Something is following close behind them, ready to strike at any moment.

Locked in a dangerous catand-mouse game with a mysterious predator, Norah and the others fi nd themselves hunted and must summon every ounce of their courage if they hope to reach the surface alive.
