Two cave divers set off to explore a watery underground world where something terrifying sleeps.

After years of open-water diving, Aaron and Margot have upped the ante. Not content to simply swim with pretty fish, the couple have taken up cave diving - climbing into the Earth in search of flooded caverns filled with adventure. Surrounded by icy waters and claustrophobic rock, where most people would only fear drowning, the newly engaged lovers find thrilling fun.

With Margot out of town and marriage just over the horizon, Aaron returns to his bachelor ways for the weekend. He bumps into his friend, Eric, a veteran cave diver, who tells him about a new cave. The two men gear up and head off to explore the depths of the uncharted Earth.

And there, deep within it, something terrifying sleeps.
