Four girls from a defunct thrill-seeking group descend into a dangerous underground cave system in search of a subterranean lake that local legends claim has the power to change things for those who can confront their deepest fears.

Amelie Desmarai's story begins believably enough: Four girls from a now-defunct thrill-seeking group planned an apic adventure to find a subterranean lake that Colorado locals call the sublime. Legend has it that the lake has the power to change things for those who risk -- and survive -- the descent. Each of the girls had her own reason for going. For Amelie, it was a promise kept to her beloved cousin, who recently suffered a tragic accident during one of the group's dares. But as her account unwinds, and the girls personalities and motives are drawn, things get complicated. Amelie is hardly the thrill-seeking type, and it appears she's not the only one with the ability to deceive. Worse yet, Amelie is covered in someone's blood, but whose, exactly? And where's the fourth girl? Is Amelie spinning a tale to cover her guilt? Or was something inexplicable waiting for the girls down there? Amelie is the only one with answeres, and she's insisting on an explanation that is more horror/fantasy than reality. Maybe the truth lies somewhere in between? After ll, strange things inhabit dark places. And sometimes we bring the dark with us.
