In a secluded cove where the ocean glows at night, Dr. Lila Moreau studies a strange pulse of light beneath the waves. The algae she’s tracking seems alive its rhythm quickening with her own heartbeat. Her only company is Nemo, a small tropical fish whose flicker of color changes with the tides. And with something else she can’t name.
Then Adrian Vale appears a diver with a past buried in the same waters she studies. His presence unsettles her research, her quiet, her certainty. The deeper she’s drawn to him, the clearer it becomes he’s not entirely human and that the experiments once hidden beneath the sea never truly stopped.
As danger rises from the depths, Lila must decide what she’s willing to lose for the truth.
When the ocean calls, will she swim toward love or drown in what it reveals?
