Synopsis:

In a secluded coastal town steeped in maritime tradition, a young woman named Hana discovers an unusual connection to the ocean's depths. Haunted by fragmented memories and a recurring dream of a submerged city, she begins investigating local legends surrounding ancient sea deities and forgotten rituals. Her pursuit leads her to unlikely allies: a reclusive fisherman with intimate knowledge of the tides and a curious marine biologist studying unusual oceanic phenomena. As Hana delves deeper into the mysteries beneath the waves, she confronts not only external threats tied to a shadowy organization seeking to exploit the ocean's power, but also unsettling truths about her own identity and a hidden history woven into the fabric of her community. The series explores themes of environmentalism, cultural preservation, and the complexities of inherited legacies, all set against a backdrop of atmospheric coastal landscapes and subtly unfolding intrigue.
