In 1983, a state-of-the-art drilling ship, the Derleth, mysteriously vanished near the Arctic Circle. Decades later, the ship has started sending a distress call, leading the Rococo oil company to hire the Carpenter brothers and their salvage crew to investigate the ghost ship. Accompanied by a marine biologist and an oil executive, the brothers embark on a perilous mission to uncover the cause of the disappearance and recover the bodies of the crew. However, they soon discover that the men on the Derleth are not dead, but something far more sinister.

The crew members have been transformed into grotesque creatures, their flesh rotting and their eyes burning with an otherworldly light. As the brothers delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a dark secret that links the Derleth to a powerful supernatural force. The ship is haunted by the spirits of the dead crew, who are determined to reclaim their vessel and exact revenge on those who have intruded upon their domain.

Plunge is a surreal and gory celebration of 80s horror, brought to life by the talented collaboration of Joe Hill (NOS4A2, Locke and Key) and Stuart Immonen (The Amazing Spider-Man, Superman: Secret Identity). The six-issue miniseries is a deep dive into unfathomable terrors, filled with shocking revelations, gruesome visuals, and a relentless pace that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

In addition to the main story, the book includes exclusive commentary and sketches from Hill and Immonen, providing insight into the creative process and the inspiration behind the series. Collecting Plunge in one volume is a must-have for fans of horror, suspense, and supernatural storytelling, and a testament to the power of collaboration between two master storytellers.
