Relationships lead people along wonderful paths, yet sometimes can take them down to deep dark places from which there may be no return for one or the other. It all depends upon the strength of the bond, or who is willing to break it.

Under the Boulder, Deep and Down follows the story of a desperate search for a young couple who disappear while hiking in the countryside of northeastern Pennsylvania. The couple, a former army specialist who fought in Afghanistan named Tracey and the love of her life, a minor league baseball player and coach with the same name, Traci, fall through the ceiling of an abandoned mine. The two struggle to survive in the darkness below as friends and colleagues go about their business above, preparing a woodland summer camp for the arrival of hundreds of children.
The teachers, counselors, and coaches arriving for pre-camp training and preparations realize their friends are missing and form a search party when local authorities express little concern. As Kirstin, the director of the two camps who lost her father, Haskey, to a forest fire just three years before, grows more desperate to find her friends, she must also maintain the family business while dealing with doubts and worries over Calahan, her long-time partner who has drifted into the fog of alcohol abuse. Other camp leaders bring past traumas to this beautiful place, including Kirstin’s assistant director, Terry, who is trying to overcome memories of a school shooting that occurred several years before at the school where he teaches in the off-season, and Owen, the camp’s seasoned handyman, a Vietnam veteran and Haskey’s brother, recently diagnosed with a serious heart condition.
As the search gains intensity, a parallel story from the past unfolds of four young brothers working for a cruel overseer in that same mine three hundred years earlier. Their attempt to escape that colonial mine may hold the key to the young couple’s survival.
Under the Boulder, Deep and Down, is a work of commercial fiction with elements of romance, adventure, and historical fiction. It is the story of a community rallying for lost loved ones when local authorities dismiss their concerns; of friends and couples surviving together by combining their wits, energy, and love to light the way; and of desperate decisions as to who will make it out.
