Marisol Garcia Gil Dinally, most commonly known as Marie Sorenson has always lived in survival mode, fighting to protect her little sister, Sang, from the chaos of their broken home while struggling to make sense of her own fractured identity. But when the weight of her mother's scars, secrets, and betrayals becomes too heavy, Marie is forced to confront the waves of her past to find her way forward.
Waves is a poignant journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the search for love in its many forms. As Marie faces her own trauma, she becomes entangled with the enigmatic Academy-a shadowy agency that turns kids from broken homes into agents and soldiers for a hidden agenda. Within the Academy's ranks, Marie meets a cast of complicated and captivating individuals, including Axel Toma, Kevin Jones, Brandon and Corey Henshaw, Theo Korba, Marc Weiland, and Yevgeny "Raven" Ravenstahl. Each connection pulls at different parts of her heart and forces her to confront the walls she's built around herself.
As Marie navigates love, loyalty, and her own fears, she learns that strength isn't about facing the world alone-it's about letting others in, even when it feels impossible.
With Sang as her anchor, Marie must decide who she is beyond the roles she's been forced to play. Can she reclaim her identity and rise above the currents pulling her down? Or will she be swept under by the shadows of her past?
