The fish have been vanishing from the waters off Big Running, Newfoundland, and
now the people are too . . .
Amidst abandoned houses and closed schools, ten-year-old Finn and his sister
Cora while away their nights counting the few remaining fishing boats on the
coast. Meanwhile Finn's music teacher, Mrs Callaghan, shares stories about his
family, the island's ancient melodies, and its myths of mermaids and magic
snakes. Then it's Cora's turn to vanish. Realising that he could lose his family
as well as his home, Finn sets out to rescue his sister and bring life back to
the barren waters.
