Following the untimely death of his father and a move to an unfamiliar city, fourteen-year-old Colin Madix takes a morning swim that ends in disaster. Colin gets turned around at sea. His strength fails him, and suddenly, Colin is drowning. He awakens later, following a near-death experience that alters his belief system and changes his young life.
In the darkness of his unconscious, Colin visits another world. On his spiritual adventure, he stumbles upon a lost, ancient tribe, forgotten in the records of human history. Their way of life may save Colin and his grieving mother, but it is more than that-their way of life may potentially alter the fate of the entire United States.
In Mark Kevesdy's "What Lies Beneath, " young Colin Madix is a beacon of truth. He is a link to America's salvation. A country that used to be a land of freedom and hope is now lost and wandering. Its only hope is a young man-lost and wandering, as well-but in possession of ancient secrets that could bring America back to her former glory and perhaps, save the Madix family before it's too late.
