Many people have tried, failed, and even died on the path to finding the secret mermaid lagoon. Difficult obstacles block the way and only the brightest with skills beyond the ordinary human can succeed. Though, the location of the lagoon itself is shrouded in mystery. Only one man is known to have gone in and come back out alive, with his wish granted. No one knows what he wished for, nor does anyone know where he is today.
Jake’s life was perfect. His parents were rich, he lived in a big house, always got what he wanted, and was even captain of the football team, leading his school to the sixth win of the season.

There was nothing the doctors could do and it was estimated that she only had a month more to live, if that. Then he heard a story that could save his sister’s life. He believed in things most people didn’t. And with the help of a girl he left everything behind to chase a myth.

And when a boy came to ask her for her help to discover a legend, she couldn’t help but to say yes.
