There was always something fishy about Marina Topaz’s life. Her mother wouldn't allow her to take a bath, only a 5 minute shower. She also wouldn’t allow her to swim in the ocean, pools or lagoons even though she lived in Hawai’i. There wasn’t much Marina could do that involved water. Her father wouldn’t let her do the dishes, wash her dog or clean her fish tank. And up until a couple months ago, that was fine by her. But when you’ve been kept in the dark until you're about to turn 17 years old and rebel, something terribly wrong is bound to happen.
