The crew of an offshore oil platform expect a difficult job followed by a journey home. When a strange fog cuts them off from the mainland, routine tensions become urgent questions of survival. Medic Cat Braithwaite helps manage the immediate crisis while worrying about her wife, Kacey, and the family life waiting beyond the rig. Their marriage gives the unfolding disaster a personal scale, with separation and uncertainty making each new development harder to bear. As the story expands, the consequences of decisions made offshore reach people who never set foot on the platform. The ensemble thriller combines workplace conflict, environmental danger and relationships tested by forces its characters do not yet understand.
