The water above and below is soft and crystalline as it moves under the water. Sleek and silver, a mirror reflection of its outside world, yet so obvious to the inhabitants inside.

Hyunjin, a siren born without the lethal voice of his kin, has spent his life as an outcast, caught between power and vulnerability. When fate draws them together, their voices entwine in an ancient melody, one that whispers of prophecy, sacrifice... and the possibility of something greater than either of them.
