Lost City Raiders

In a near‑future where rising seas have swallowed continents, the remnants of humanity cling to floating habitats and the skeletal outlines of once‑great cities. The world feels both claustrophobic and expansive—endless horizons of water broken only by the occasional flicker of submerged ruins, their stone corridors echoing with the ghosts of a past that no longer has a place on the surface. The atmosphere hums with a mix of desperate survival and a lingering, almost reverent awe for the lost world beneath.

At the heart of this aqueous frontier is a tight‑knit family of salvagers. John Kubiac leads his crew with a weathered pragmatism, while his teenage sons, Jack Kubiac and Thomas Kubiac, bring a restless energy and a shared reverence for the artifacts they recover. Their submarine is less a war machine than a floating workshop, a place where jokes are traded as readily as tools and where the bond between father and sons is tested by the relentless pressure of the deep. The trio moves through the submerged streets with a blend of professionalism and sibling rivalry that keeps the operation both efficient and human.

When the theocratic city‑state of New Vatican reaches out with a commission that promises more than profit—a chance to influence the very fate of the planet—the family’s routine salvage dives take on a weightier significance. Their expertise, honed on the margins of a water‑logged world, becomes the centerpiece of a mission that feels simultaneously heroic and precarious. As they prepare to answer this call, the tone shifts toward a quiet, brooding optimism: the possibility that a handful of determined individuals might help steer humanity toward a future where the oceans no longer dictate the rules of existence.
