She's not drowning. Not really. But it feels like it every day.
Seventeen-year-old Isla has mastered the art of pretending - pretending to smile, pretending to cope, pretending she's not slowly sinking beneath the weight of everything she can't say out loud. At school, she's the quiet girl in the back. At home, she's the ghost her parents walk past. In her mind, she's somewhere deep beneath the surface... under the sea.
The ocean becomes her metaphor - a place where thoughts echo louder, emotions pull like tides, and hope feels as distant as the shore. But when a mysterious new therapist challenges her to turn her drowning into swimming, Isla starts to explore the darkness within her, piece by piece.
