Aaaugh not a One!! 
Is it insured man? The problem is that you cant take the battery out.
Dont keep trying to turn it on, shake out as much water as you can and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for a few days then try it. Dont get your hopes up though man. Sorry :thumbup:

I had an older Samsung SGH-x427 which was my only device to meet water and hate it. it was such a lightweight and tiny little flip-phone that it was quite easy to forget was in your pocket--which was my problem. i left it in there and forgot about it and it went through not only a wash, but dry cycle as well--oh it was shiny and smelled nice, but all i got was a white screen with tye-dye colors (but it wasn't broke but i did think it was) but then it quit working completely. i tried charging it, after letting it dry a long time in the sun, tried using it without the battery, all without success. i later went to the Battery Headquarters in town and found an aftermarket Samsung battery that fit, and it worked again! all it did was fry the battery. unfortunately, i doubt the battery in the HTC One is removable, which means you've got a problem if the same problem has happened.
Today's Li-Ion batteries have protection measures which disable the battery after x number of charge cycles from 0%, age, and improper charging, and of course, water damage. it is likely the little 'brain' has fried and disabled the battery's connection with the phone, much like a modern vehicle will display 'Vehicle Engine Disabled--Visit Service' whenever it gets wrecked and the airbags deploy.
