When asked what she wanted to be, when she grew up, Tate would reply a mermaid. Fish were better company than little girls, and boys were icky and mean. Her seventeenth birthday and summer vacation are just around the corner. It is not a surprise that she plans on spending her every waking hour at The Aquarium. Her world is turned upside down, after the 'main attraction' is brought to the Aquarium, a merman. The young boy is not your average under the sea guy that Tate imagined from her childhood. The sea is a darker place then she imagined. Storms and Hurricane's are coming far worse than what the east coast has seen for the past hundred years. The only way to stop it is to help return the merman to the sea. But can she trust a creature that she has only known for a week, a creature that is not even human?
