Jonah Walsh is the best diver in Eastsound, an eighteen-year-old working to save his dead father's boat from the man who owns the island's debt. When a storm exposes a lost Spanish wreck, Jonah and his best friend Brody dive for the gold that could buy his family's future. Eighty feet down, the wreck collapses, and Brody swims for the surface with the treasure while Jonah lies pinned and out of air. Back on shore, Brody and Jonah's girlfriend Sadie tell the town he died chasing gold, and are hailed as the heroes who tried to save him. But the wreck was not a wreck, and Jonah is not dead. Something ancient beneath the hull has kept him alive and changed him into something the water obeys. Now he can only watch from below as the people who left him take his boat, his name, and his family's grief, while the one person still searching gets closer to a secret that could end him. When the town gathers to bury him, how far will Jonah go to take everything back?
