Surface is an expansive drama series that centers on the appearance of mysterious sea creatures in the deep ocean - and tracks the lives of a variety of characters. They are: Laura Daughtery, the young oceanographer who discovers the secret; Government Scientist Dr. Aleksander Cirko and Pentagon Official Davis Lee, who both try to keep things under wraps; Richard Connelly, the Louisiana fisherman-insurance salesman who lost his brother in a suspicious diving accident; and Miles, the young boy who brings the creatures ashore.
The mystery ensnares a spectrum of people, including naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in Wilmington, North Carolina, scientists from the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and divers in the Gulf of Mexico. The seemingly innocent creatures they find are beautiful - but they are full of surprises as viewers continue on a journey to discover what might be lurking in the sea.
