A voyage through divided realities

Caden Bosch’s life is presented across two intertwined settings: a high school and a ship bound for Challenger Deep, the deepest point on Earth. On board, he serves as the artist documenting the journey, while his school friends begin to notice changes in his behavior. The parallel strands connect an expedition into the ocean’s depths with a young person’s experience of mental illness. The book’s central tension is also reflected in Caden’s divided loyalties aboard the ship, where he is caught between the captain and the possibility of mutiny.
