After the oceans swallowed the last of the surface world, the only known refuge of humanity lies beneath the waves—a decaying marine research facility turned survival bunker, known only asThe Aquarium.

When Nadia, a coastal village survivor, is rescued and brought into the facility, he expects safety. Instead, he finds silence. Empty-eyed caretakers who don't blink. Tanks that show no reflections. And corridors that echo with whale songs and laughter that shouldn’t exist. The Aquarium is haunted—but not by ghosts.

Now, as the facility begins to flood and survivors begin toshed their skins, Nadia must make the final choice:
