A dark storm takes over Niamh’s small town on an island of the coast of Ireland’s mainland and with it comes an intriguing outsider washed ashore. As the rain continues to come life on Niamh’s body starts physically transforming against her will into a beautiful yet horrific sea changeling that becomes mortifying to those she loves. Is this a body-horror nightmare, or Niamh’s identity calling her home?
