Geologist John Cleves Symmes believes the Earth is hollow, with openings at the poles that lead to an inner world. When his theories are mocked, he recruits a crew to sail to the North Pole and prove his radical vision. But as their expedition pushes deeper into the unknown, they confront ghostly visions and a tightening grip of madness. Torn between scientific doubt and mystical possibility, Symmes and his team must decide whether to turn back or plunge into the abyss.
