In 1976, David is fishing off the island of Black Conch when he comes upon a creature he doesn't expect: a mermaid by the name of Aycayia.

As David and Aycayia's love grows, they navigate both the joys and dangers of life on shore. A lingering question remains: will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse
