After narrowly escaping death in a forest fire, Angie Dinsman found herself under the control of the World Life Company.

But first she has to undergo the terrifying process of learning to breathe underwater. After mastering the basics of survival, she faces an insurmountable challenge: finding the information that could end starvation on Earth while sabotaging the company's evil plans.
