The tide is rising—and it answers to no man.
Plot: A New Voyage Beneath the Surface
In the heart of the equatorial seas, legends speak of an underwater jungle—a spectral place that only appears at high tide, vanishing just as quickly as it reveals itself.
Driven by ancient maps, whispered myths, and tidal anomalies, a new crew embarks on an expedition to uncover the Golden Current—a mystical relic said to control the movement of tides across the globe.
But the relic is guarded by a hidden tribe that believes releasing its power would disrupt the balance of nature itself. As greed, ambition, and survival clash, the currents of fate grow dangerously unpredictable.
