Sapphire (Ingo) lives on land with her family but hears the call of her Mer blood. That balance is upset when the Tide Knot, a mystical underwater force, threatens Sapphire's town. Supported by believably conflicted characters and set against the grandeur of the sea, the story works at the tangle of how we manage contradictions within our own nature.
