Description

Jack Joseph is an underwater welder working off the coast of Nova Scotia, where the immense pressure and darkness of the ocean mirror the anxieties he feels about becoming a father. When a mysterious encounter during a routine dive draws him into an unsettling mystery, Jack is forced to confront the unresolved trauma surrounding his own father’s disappearance decades earlier. Blending supernatural suspense with an intimate portrait of marriage, family, loss, and longing, this visually striking graphic novel explores the ghosts—both literal and emotional—that shape our lives. Jeff Lemire’s atmospheric, deeply human storytelling delivers a haunting meditation on love, memory, and the difficult choice to break free from the past.
