SYNOPSIS: In 1954 Marie Tharp, a geophysicist and cartologist, makes a revolutionary discovery only for it to be dismissed by co-worker, Bruce Heezen as “girl talk”. Eventually, ‘substantiated’ by a male scientist, Heezen repairs his rift with Marie, and an unconventional relationship forms between them, for just like the scars of the ocean floor, division has the power to reveal the truth of who we are.
