?In 1964 Los Angeles, teenager Jim Hastings lives with his uncle, Edward St. Ives, while his father, William, resides in a psychiatric facility following his wife's death. Jim befriends Giles "Gill" Peach, a boy born with gills and webbed fingers, who believes he is destined to return to the Earth's core. Inspired by pulp science fiction, Gill constructs a "subterranean prospector" device, aiming to journey to the center of the Earth. As they embark on this adventure, they encounter mermen, bizarre technology, and a longevity serum derived from carp, all while contending with unscrupulous individuals seeking to exploit their discoveries.
