A haunting, intimate coming-of-age fantasy that uses mermaid transformation as a metaphor for the terror and alienation of adolescent bodily change.

15-year-old Mia faces an overwhelming transformation which puts her entire existence into question. Her body is changing radically, and despite desperate attempts to halt the process, Mia is soon forced to accept that nature is far more powerful than she is.
