The premise
A marine biologist, an insurance salesman and a teenage boy find their lives changed when a new and often dangerous sea life species emerges, while the government tries to keep the affair under wraps.
Horror Vault's take
When a terrifying new species begins surfacing in the world's oceans, three ordinary people — a driven marine biologist, an everyday insurance salesman, and a curious teenager — find themselves drawn into a web far bigger and more dangerous than any of them bargained for. As encounters with these creatures grow increasingly deadly, shadowy government forces work overtime to bury the truth. The series builds its dread slowly, weaving personal drama with large-scale mystery and aquatic menace. What lurks beneath the surface may rewrite everything humanity thought it knew about the ocean.
