Synopsis:

Set in a secluded coastal town steeped in folklore, the series follows Ren, a young woman grappling with a mysterious past and an unsettling connection to the sea. She finds herself drawn into the lives of the town’s inhabitants, each harboring secrets interwoven with ancient legends and unusual occurrences. The narrative unfolds with a deliberate pace, exploring themes of memory, isolation, and the blurred lines between reality and myth. A pervasive atmosphere of melancholy hangs over the community as Ren slowly pieces together fragments of forgotten histories, confronting both external threats and internal struggles. Expect a character-driven story prioritizing emotional resonance and atmospheric storytelling over high-octane action; it's an introspective exploration of belonging and identity within a world where the past refuses to stay buried.
