Storyline

Rescue diver Jonas Taylor attempts to save the crew of a damaged nuclear submarine when he sees the hull being rammed by an unidentified creature. His account of the story is dismissed by fellow survivor Dr. Heller, who believes that Taylor turned coward due to induced pressure psychosis. They discover an abundance of never-before seen flora and fauna below the thermocline, but an attack by a large, unidentified creature causes the submersible to lose contact with Mana One.
