As far as Ally Davis is concerned, she lives a normal life. A perfect life.
Perfect family. Perfect friends. Perfect grades. Not one single element is out of place, her life all neatly and perfectly planed out in front of her.
Ally Davis does have one thing she fears, buried deep down under layers and layers of memories. There's a reason why she doesn't step in the pool during the holidays, why she comes up with excuses to skip swimming lessons.
Water. The endless water, where you can't see the bottom underneath your feet.
That's why, when Ally's family moves to their grandma's house, on the edge of a lake, her worst fears come true and it becomes her worst enemy.
What happens when Ally can't resist the call of the water, when she plunges into an unknown world, deep under the surface of the solid ground?
What happens when waves of memories and the unknown merge into one?
