Fifteen hundred souls went down with the Titanic. That was just the beginning. When the world-famous luxury liner Titanic sank beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean, she took countless secrets with her - unaccounted-for passengers, legendary smuggled treasures, and the mystery as to how an unsinkable ship went down in less than three hours. For over a century the Atlantic's largest tomb has remained almost entirely out of reach in the cold, black void of the ocean floor…
But now a crew of scientists and scavengers have descended to the depths of the ocean to raid the heart of a dead ship in search of a priceless treasure. Equipped with the latest technology, they will venture deeper into the wreck than was ever thought possible. But in the bowels of the ship, they uncover an ancient hunger that won’t stop until every one of them is dead.

In Beneath’s series premiere, the book-smart, reticent DR. CALEB PEELS, a professor of ancient religion, has been recruited by the eccentric billionaire and adventurer SIMON BELL and finds himself on a sea-tossed research vessel bound for the Titanic wreckage. Caleb has been hired to decipher the mysterious writings of his own great uncle, who drowned on Titanic. Bell is convinced the journal will lead them to an incredible discovery - three priceless Babylonian artifacts. On the research vessel Caleb meets the salty first mate SUE TELIT, the gruff submarine pilot G.L. BENSON, the bubble-gum popping young diver NOEL, and the determined and alluring marine biologist DR. KATE WHEELER. As the weather turns dangerous, Simon Bell, Benson, Noel, and Kate load into the state-of-the-art CETO submarine and make the difficult journey to the ocean floor. Caleb remains with Sue monitoring the mission (and an approaching hurricane) from the Mosby Topside. Once there, Noel suits up and heads deep into the Titanic wreckage. As the others listen on the radio, Noel encounters an unspeakable horror.
