SYNOPSIS
Two mermaid sisters surface from the ocean depths when a discarded ring catches their attention. The ring belongs to Kanon, a heartbroken girl who wants nothing to do with memories of her ex-boyfriend. Sensing genuine pain beneath Kanon's rejection, Marin becomes determined to help her move forward, but her well-meaning search through the forest goes dangerously wrong when her sister Urin shatters a sacred seal. What emerges from that broken barrier threatens both the human and ocean worlds. Dark forces begin to creep into reality, and Marin discovers she possesses unexpected magical abilities tied to her mermaid heritage. She must navigate unfamiliar human emotions, the growing danger around them, and her own transformation into something more than she ever imagined. The story balances genuine teenage heartache with supernatural stakes, creating a world where ocean magic and human relationships collide. It's a tender exploration of connection and sacrifice wrapped in a fantasy adventure that asks what we're willing to risk for people we care about.
