Emmet is a lighthouse keeper. It's a quiet and secluded job. It's the sort of job that makes it easy for him to fall into a routine. Still, it has its surprising moments, he's no stranger to a wide variety of things washing up on the shore after all. Though this by far has to take the cake for the bizarrest thing he's stumbled across.
After a particularly nasty storm, Emmet finds someone hurt and washed up on the beach, a snarky mer named Arlo. And now it's up to Emmet to look after them until they're back on their feet- er- fin. Something that sounds easy, in theory.
