On a serene day near the Caribbean island of Black Conch, a mermaid rises from the flat grey sea, her barnacled head captivating. Drawn to David, a fisherman waiting for a catch, she is mesmerized by his melodic voice singing to himself with his guitar. Aycayia, the lonely mermaid, has spent centuries alone in the vast ocean.
