at the very bottom of a body of water
Maria is being haunted. Every night, she dreams about drowning. Every week, she makes catfish soup. But when her ritual meal is disrupted by the disappearance of her fishmonger, she can no longer swim in the routine circle of her solitary life. She embarks on a surreal quest -- all the way down to the darkest place she can imagine -- to confront the ghost that is holding her captive...or rather, the ghost that she's been holding captive.
