It has happened to you. You see someone you recognize from across a crowded room but once you get closer, you realize it is not the person you thought it was. You’ve tapped on a friends shoulder to say hello but once they turn around you find they are a complete stranger. You have caught a glimpse of yourself in your peripheral vision when there was no chance it could have been a reflection. Are these instances a trick of the eye or a simple case of mistaken identity? Is it possible that something far more sinister is at play? You may recognize the term Doppelganger.

What if there was indeed such a being and it has learned to manipulate it’s victims by utilizing the vast technologies of today? How many lives could it infiltrate, control, or take?

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth.

But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much. Moira can end the issue - she's supposed to marry a selkie prince once she's eighteen, forever tying her people with the seals. Moira has only just discovered the life hidden from her, and going to live with the seals would mean giving up the life she's always wanted to live. She doesn't want to give herself up to the sea.
