Deep in the Mariana Sea Trench, a corporate underwater mining complex has been built - an industrial Atlantis. When an accident in a dry-dock chamber kills several miners an investigator is sent to find the cause and immediately finds out that it was not an accident. He becomes caught in the middle of a deadly conflict between the miners and the corporation, and fights to stay alive and uncover the truth.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Daniel Knauf's only feature film directing credit; he later found his true calling creating the HBO series Carnivàle.
Released during the brief early-2000s boom of underwater thrillers (Sphere, Deep Blue Sea, Below), it sank without a trace despite the trend.
