Years after peace was restored between the sea and the surface, Hikari, Monica, Chisaki, and Tsumugu leave their coastal town, determined to raise their children far from the ocean's shadows. Marinette and Katsuki grow up as best friends, unaware of their hidden heritage, the ocean god who watches from the deep, or the family secrets that could change their lives forever.
But when summer brings the families back to the coastal town for a visit, the calm surface begins to ripple with tension. The pull of the sea awakens long-hidden powers, friendships are tested, and feelings begin to shift. Marinette feels drawn to the ocean in ways she cannot explain, while Bakugou's protective nature clashes with his growing awareness of his own heart.
As old secrets are revealed, love blossoms, rivalries flare, and the tides of destiny threaten to pull them apart. In a summer of laughter, heartbreak, and whispered waves, Marinette and Bakugou must confront the legacy of the past-and the feelings that have always been right in front of them.
