Isaac had always dreamt of working at the ocean. The beauty of the vast water enthralled him. Low grades at school seemed to ruin his chances of a great career, but where there is motivation, there is a way. However, there was another obstacle: monsters. Mermaids enjoy killing people who traverse the ocean or its beaches alone. To work as a fisherman, Isaac has to undergo training to survive these creatures. He thought it would be tough, yet he didn’t expect to discover that all the stories he had heard his whole life about the monsters of the ocean were nothing more than lies.
