Angela Ward is unraveling. Battling addiction, she avoids her young son and the life she believes she has already failed, numbing herself with work and nights at the bar. When she disappears after a late night out, those left behind must confront how far she had been drifting long before she vanished.

Her abductor, Marshall Sewert, is a meticulous and deeply damaged man shaped by childhood violence. Haunted by the killing of his abusive father and caring for a mother left nearly vegetative by trauma, Marshall believes suffering can be controlled. Since childhood, he has been guided by a presence he thinks is a protective older brother, unaware it is an ancient demon quietly steering him toward brutality.

Captivity forces Angela into a brutal reckoning. Cut off from alcohol and escape, she must decide whether she deserves to survive. Her refusal to surrender begins to fracture Marshall’s control. Unseen, their lives are caught in a hidden war as old as humanity itself, fought through influence rather than force.

Out of the Depths is a dark psychological thriller infused with the supernatural, exploring trauma, free will, and whether redemption is possible for those who believe they are already lost.
