Synopsis: Underwater explorer and journalist Eric Rayner hasn't written a word since his wife Sara died almost one year ago. Instead, he's been drowning in self-pity and alcohol since the crash of the Boeing 747 that took Sara's life and that of 237 others. A marine biologist, she was traveling to Raja Ampat in Indonesia to study the sea life. It was the sea that cemented Eric and Sara's relationship.

But when Proteus Marine Research contacts him, he is intrigued. The mysterious research foundation located in Vero Beach, Florida, was started by sixty-six year old Thomas Chandley, a crypto-zoologist. Although skeptical, Eric learns of Chandley's unique connection to his late wife, and agrees to become part of the Neptune project that will explore what might be the lost city of Atlantis.

As Eric finds himself once again thrust beneath the surface of the sea in search of adventure among the diverse coral reefs, he learns that the real adventure lies in finding himself.
