Out of Plain Sight is a cinematic exposé of an environmental disaster lurking just off the coast of California. Not far from Catalina Island, aboard one of the most-advanced research ships in the world, David Valentine discovered a corroded barrel on the seafloor that gave him chills. The full environmental horror sharpens into greater clarity once he calls Los Angeles Times journalist Rosanna Xia, who pieces together a stunning revelation: for decades, as many as half a million barrels of toxic waste had been dumped into the ocean, and people today must reckon with the consequences.
