Synopsis:
On the remote Fijian island of Pagopago, a young boy named Yousuke discovers an extraordinary creature following a violent storm. This unexpected find is a juvenile plesiosaur, seemingly preserved from the Cretaceous period, whom he names Coo. As Coo grows, its existence attracts unwanted attention. A French secret service unit arrives, tasked with safeguarding nuclear facilities in the region, and now views Coo as a significant anomaly requiring control. The series explores the delicate balance between scientific discovery and geopolitical interests, set against the backdrop of a tranquil island life suddenly disrupted by prehistoric implications. It examines themes of responsibility, the impact of the past on the present, and the ethical considerations surrounding extraordinary life. The narrative unfolds with a focus on character dynamics as Yousuke navigates the consequences of his discovery alongside his father, a marine biologist.
