Synopsis

Underwater photographer Jay has always had a passion for the ocean. She'd never tell you that she thinks she's seen it all...but she'd have to admit that she never thought she'd meet a real-life mermaid on a dive!

But bubbly and mysterious Echo disappears nearly as soon as Jay meets her. Can the two of them reunite, or will it be a one-time encounter?
