In Beneath’s series premiere, the book-smart, reticent DR. CALEB PEELS, a professor of ancient religion, has been recruited by the eccentric billionaire and adventurer SIMON BELL and finds himself on a sea-tossed research vessel bound for the Titanic wreckage. Caleb has been hired to decipher the mysterious writings of his own great uncle, who drowned on Titanic. Bell is convinced the journal will lead them to an incredible discovery - three priceless Babylonian artifacts. On the research vessel Caleb meets the salty first mate SUE TELIT, the gruff submarine pilot G.L. BENSON, the bubble-gum popping young diver NOEL, and the determined and alluring marine biologist DR. KATE WHEELER. As the weather turns dangerous, Simon Bell, Benson, Noel, and Kate load into the state-of-the-art CETO submarine and make the difficult journey to the ocean floor. Caleb remains with Sue monitoring the mission (and an approaching hurricane) from the Mosby Topside. Once there, Noel suits up and heads deep into the Titanic wreckage. As the others listen on the radio, Noel encounters an unspeakable horror.
