When a trawler goes silent off the coast of Newfoundland, a Coast Guard lifeboat crewman helps search for her and finds only a circle of black water lying flat in a gale. Weeks later the trawler is back, hanging two hundred and fifty feet above the sea on a black stalk, every deck light burning, her crew alive and waving.
The station's own lifeboat goes out to reach her and ends up beside her, with the young man he helped onto the crew waving from its deck. Every boat that crosses the calm water below is swallowed and raised to join them, and the town learns the one rule that seems to keep the men alive: someone on each deck must keep moving, or the boat is drawn under.
Night after night the lights creep closer to the harbor while the men above the water weaken. Ordered to keep his boat tied up, he has one dangerous way to reach them without crossing the calm, and a closing window of wind in which to try.
