In 1983, a state-of-the-art drilling ship named the Derleth mysteriously vanished near the Arctic Circle, leaving behind a haunting mystery that would span decades. Decades later, the enigmatic vessel began sending out a distress call, drawing the attention of the Rococo oil company. They enlisted the services of the Carpenter brothers, renowned salvage experts, along with a marine biologist and an oil executive, to investigate the ghost ship that had seemingly vanished without a trace.

As the team set out on their mission, they discovered that the Derleth's crew was not dead, but rather in a state of unimaginable horror. The ship had been infested by a mysterious and deadly organism that had transformed the men into grotesque creatures, driven by an insatiable hunger for oil.

The brothers and their team faced treacherous conditions as they boarded the Derleth, navigating through the maze-like corridors and battling the monstrous creatures that lurked within. They encountered bizarre and terrifying sights, including the twisted remains of the crew and the grotesque transformations that had taken place upon them.

As they delved deeper into the mystery, the team discovered that the Derleth had been carrying a secret cargo that had unleashed the deadly organism upon the crew. They also learned that the ship had been trapped in a time warp, oscillating between the present and the past, and that the creatures they were facing were the remnants of a long-forgotten civilization.

With determination and bravery, the team managed to uncover the truth behind the Derleth's disappearance and the horror that had befallen its crew. In a final, climactic battle, they confronted the creature's leader and defeated it, saving the world from a fate worse than death.
