Short Summary:

When scientist Elias Mercer crashes on a mysterious living island hidden deep within the ocean, he discovers that its roots are not planted in soil—but woven into something far older, larger, and terrifyingly alive. As a parasitic bioluminescent moss begins rewriting his body from the inside out, Elias must fight through shifting jungles, ancient biological structures, and unimaginable horrors to uncover a cure that could save his dying daughter. But beneath the island lies a sleeping force powerful enough to reshape humanity forever—and waking it may cost the world everything.
