Sam Dawson, a former Army Special Forces sergeant, is still grappling with the failure of his last mission, a patched-up battle heart, and the recent breakdown of his marriage.

​

These events have left him with a profound sense of loss and despair. While on a hunting trip at a northern New Mexico Indian reservation, he plans to end his life with nothing left to live for.

​

Everything changes when his beloved college coed daughter pays him a surprise visit and mysteriously disappears.

​

This unexpected turn of events reignites a fierce sense of purpose within Sam. With the police search slow to form, he swings into action with the assistance of a Native American full of mysticism.

​

Together, they embark on a race against time to uncover a mysterious mesa-topped mountain the tribe avoids. Every second is crucial as they delve into a chilling cover-up in American history—a story of betrayal, greed, and the exploitation of the native people, igniting a sense of deep-seated injustice and anger in Sam.

​

Amid the disturbing events inside the mountain, Below Level 7 also reveals an unexpected and unconventional love story between a captive woman and a being that defies easy categorization, being half-human and half-otherworldly.

​

Driven by Sam's resilience, redemption, and the unbreakable bond between father and daughter, he will go to any lengths to rescue his girl and others from a horrifying fate.
