Summary
Zoey Choi and Kang Mira, students of Marine Biology and Marine Archaeology, respectively, earn the opportunity of a lifetime as interns for an expedition to Jeju Island. They are entrenched in the island's unique cultures and traditions, and with luck, their studies will help to preserve them for future generations.
But a diving accident puts the girls face-to-face with a living, breathing fiction that shakes their realities: a mermaid. Soon, they come to learn that secrets persist around Jeju just as stubbornly as the islanders' traditions, and they have unwittingly been drawn into a fragile web of deception and mysticism that runs deeper than they ever could have imagined.
And in the middle of the hurricane of questions they have, seated directly in the eye, is a mermaid with jagged purple patterns.
