When he receives a mysterious letter, Marshall leaves the safety of his home and the comfort of his loving wife to join an old friend on a pearl diving expedition in the dangerous waters of the Caribbean Sea.
While their voyage is successful, Marshall and the crew find a mythical beast lurking under the surface, more dangerous than the sea herself. A mysterious figure follows the ship, visions of a beautiful woman appear in Marshall's dreams, and their treasures begin to disappear.
