A few weeks after their wedding, Lewis receives a rare diagnosis: he is turning into a great white shark, and he has less than a year left to live as a human. At first, Wren resists her husband's fate. Can they be together after Lewis fully transforms? But as Lewis changes, day by day, Wren begins to make peace with the inevitable. After all, this isn't the first time she's lost a loved one.
