The only light comes from bioluminescence, created by animals themselves. In order to see, the creatures there must create their own light. They must move like solitary suns, encased in their own bubbles of freezing water. This layer is the most completely unexplored zone on the planet. Though it is hostile to humans, it also is fascinating beyond belief. If you had a chance to see it, wouldn't you want to go there The year Mary is 38, the suicide of a stranger in a nearby reservoir compels her to make a change.

She soon learns that navigating marriage is just as difficult as learning the ocean.
