On his last day before retirement, James Stanson, donning his grandfather's antique diving suit, floated below a Pacific iceberg, extracting ice samples for scientific research. With his oxygen hose attached to the diving vessel, James instructed the submarine pilot to back closer to ice . . . but then something went terribly wrong. The submarine collided into the bottom of the iceberg, sending the ship into a plummet to the ocean floor, with James dragging behind. After a nightmarish decent through the black abyss, James counted down his last seconds of life, until he saw a red light glowing in the depths. By supernatural means, or plain luck, James survived the crash and found a strange ship on the sea floor, with a red light pulsating above a windowed-door. James scrambled to the door with his last breath, found a way in, and discovered a mystery that would shape his life forever. From a breathtaking ascent to the surface, to a heart-warming story of sacrifice and friendship; James must find out what it means to become a true Golden Man.
