Love is stronger than our differences, even the big onesÑlike having a tail. Ari is a merman who lives near Muir Beach, California. When he saves his only human friend from drowning, his existence becomes public knowledge, and heÕs taken away from his home to be used as an attraction in an Orlando aquatic park. Theo Delaney is human, and as soon as he finds out about the merman, heÕs fascinated by him. He visits the park and decides Ari isnÕt a fish like the parkÕs owner is trying to convince everyone. When one of the park workers tells him heÕs going to try to free the merman, Theo wants in, and heÕs the one who drives Ari back to California. He hadnÕt expected to fall in love in the process, though. How can he, a human man, and Ari, a merman, be together?
