And once she surfaces, things only get worse: One of the clients is in serious condition, and their dive boat has vanished--along with Julie\'s father, the only person who knows their whereabouts.
When the clients, a reckless boy Julie\'s age and his equally foolhardy father, disregard Julie\'s instructions during the dive, she quickly realizes she\'s in over her head.
