Plot Summary
Dare to dive into the ocean with Arial, a mermaid princess who longs for more than her underwater world. She falls in love with the human Prince Valiant, but her friends and family disapprove and wish for her to stay in the deep end. Jealous of Arial’s beauty and singing voice, the evil sea witch Octavia wants to bring her family to a dismal end and gain power over the ocean. Meanwhile, nautical misfits on Copenhagen docks find themselves tangled up in our underwater shenanigans.
Join a good sea fairy, a hapless taxi driver duo, and a chaotic pool of workers in the fish and maritime industries as the story unfolds.
