In the quiet town of Miracle Creek, Virginia, a devastating explosion at an experimental hyperbaric treatment facility known as the Miracle Submarine claims two lives and sets off a gripping courtroom drama. The owners, the Yoo family, are immigrants chasing the American dream, but now find themselves at the center of a murder trial that unravels a tangled web of lies, betrayals, and secrets. As every character's backstory is peeled back, the community's facade of normalcy crumbles, revealing the lengths people will go to protect their families and the dark underbelly of suburban desperation. From disgruntled locals to struggling parents, each has a motive and means, fueling a narrative that probes the ethics of parenting, the plight of immigrants, and the human capacity for survival. Angie Kim delicately interweaves the immigrant experience with a poignant exploration of the pressures of modern life, culminating in an unflinching portrayal of tragedy, hope, and the pursuit of a better life.
