An enzyme that will dramatically prolong life has been discovered two thousand feet down in the North Atlantic, in an area known as ‘Lost City’. But why are the people attempting to harvest it getting killed? Why are the scientists in a remote Greek laboratory disappearing one by one?

Kurt Austin is Head of the US National Underwater and Marine Agency’s (NUMA) Special Assignments Team – a job that ensures he is no stranger to danger above or below the waves.
