When 25-year-old Sylvia lands her dream internship at the world's top marine research facility, she thinks she's finally getting closer to understanding the merfolk she saw as a child. But behind the glass and steel lies something far darker-experiments disguised as science, and captivity masked as research. When she locks eyes with a wounded merman in a tank, everything changes. Now, her mission isn't to study him-it's to break him out. And maybe, just maybe, save them both.
