Ariana couldn't hear or speak. Everybody knows that fact. As her mother pulls some strings in her life, she finds herself being tutored by the one and only Jake Williams. Behind her mask and acts, she hides a secret that no one knows. Will he be the first one to find out?
Jake is an ordinary guy who had no problems in life, or as they all thought. He gets perfect grades in history and is the captain of the swimming varsity team. He is caught up with his past and does not plan to let go. He eventually gets himself tangled with Ariana's life and finds her intriguing.
In the coastal town of Ridgewater, strange occurrences have begun to unfold after an undersea research project mysteriously goes dark. Amelia "Mia" Hartman, a 17-year-old aspiring marine biologist, stumbles across the secret when her father, the head scientist of the project, disappears. With the town's people unwilling to speak about the ongoing events and authorities pushing the narrative of a simple accident, Mia suspects something much darker lurking beneath the surface-literally.
Teaming up with her best friend, Leo, and a rebellious new arrival to town named Jake, Mia uncovers a hidden government operation involving an ancient, underwater facility that has been disturbed. Now, they must face the unknown threats that emerge from the deep and stop a power-hungry organization from using the facility's mysterious technology for their own ends.
