Dark Life is a thrilling futuristic adventure set deep undersea. It follows the settlers of the world's first subsea settlement as they defend their homesteads against a brazen band of outlaws.

Set in an apocalyptic future where rising oceans have swallowed up entire regions, people live packed like sardines on the dry land left. The harrowing tale unfolds with underwater pioneers who have carved out a life for themselves in the harsh deep-sea environment, farming the seafloor in exchange for land deeds.

The story follows Ty, who has lived his whole life on his family's homestead and dreams of claiming his own stake when he turns eighteen. But when outlaws attack government supply ships and settlements, Ty, joined by a girl from Topside named Gemma, finds himself in a fight to save the only home he has ever known. Together, they venture into the frontier's rough underworld and discover dark secrets that threaten to destroy everything.
