The premise

Atlantis survivor Mark Harris breathes underwater, withstands extreme depth pressures and wields superhuman strength.

Horror Vault's take

Mark Harris is the last apparent survivor of the lost civilization of Atlantis — a being who can breathe underwater, endure crushing ocean depths, and match no ordinary human in strength or endurance. Working alongside scientists, he navigates a surface world that is as alien to him as the deep sea is to everyone else. The series blends aquatic adventure with the quiet unease of a creature caught between two worlds. Expect Cold War-era science-fiction sensibilities with a distinctly eerie undercurrent of the unknown.
