A powerful sea-witch resides in a small, seaside town in Florida. Her name is not known to the people of the town, but all know she can help when the need arises. It is in this town that a young man, Emery Gallagher, finds himself with no home, no family, and no future. The witch takes young Emery in, and begins teaching him the Way of the Sea. After a life of horrors, Emery finally finds a true home. But, as Emery learns, all things come with a cost, and a life lived by one so powerful must always come with sacrifice.
