Will our Siren be able to find her one true love before he marries another? And if she does, will he be able to recognize the mermaid who saved him inside the monster she has become?
Alethea Kontis's dark retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic "The Little Mermaid" examines the very idea of soulmates and true love, asking just how much suffering it would take to turn one of those souls from good to evil.
