新型の深海潜水器具をテストしていた女性海洋生物学者のオリーブは、科学的好奇心から船上でモニターするスタッフの制止を聞かず、潜水服の限界を超えてさらに深くへ降下した。だが、その矢先彼女はタコのような触手を持った巨大な生き物に襲われ、意識を失ってしまう。無謀な探索と事故の責任を問われて解雇されたオリーブだったが、壊れた潜水具に付着していた奇妙な卵を見つけた彼女は、それをひそかに持ち帰る。

Denis Hopkins, a pilot, lives with his pregnant wife Valerie and has a comfortable lifestyle. When a gang of criminals led by the sadistic Ricky Barnes breaks into his home, he offers whatever the criminals want to protect his wife and unborn child, but the evil Ricky kills Valerie anyway. Their baby is saved, and later Barnes is arrested and sentenced to life in the maximum security prison, Sullen Voe. Denis fakes his own suicide, then assaults a police car in order to get himself arrested and sent to prison with the intention of tracking down and killing Ricky Barnes. He does not reveal his true name and is called John "What" by the prisoners and guards. Denis escapes from successive prisons, forcing his eventual transfer to Sullen Voe. When he reaches his objective, Ricky Barnes schedules a confrontation, but things do not quite turn out the way Denis had expected.
