Celise Barrett has not spoken in six months. Once vibrant and full of life, she now moves through her days in a quiet haze, held down by a loss she cannot face. When her closest friends and the man who refuses to give up on her take her on a road trip through the places that shaped her past, Celise is gently pulled toward the memories she has tried to keep buried.
From hidden springs to crowded fairs to the shoreline where love once felt endless, each stop brings her a little closer to the truth she has avoided for so long. Grief, guilt, and longing begin to loosen their hold as she slowly rises from the depths, discovering pieces of herself she never expected to feel again.
The Deep is a quiet and emotional journey about love, loss, and the courage it takes to return to yourself. As Celise moves through the depth of her past, she must choose whether to remain in the undertow or find her way back into the light.
