Tomy swore to never go back to the sea. After his pod kicked him out, he was forced to survive on his own. That didn't last very long, being a 9-year-old Bettamer that could breathe saltwater as well as freshwater. Without a pod to protect him, he fled to the land where he made some new friends. One day, a storm crashes into his life, quite literally. He's torn from his friends in the midst of it. Thrown to the sea, half dead, he feels helpless. Will he die alone? Will his friends find him? What he finds instead, is something far more unexpected.
