A brilliant hydraulic engineer. A determined mechanical prodigy. Together, they might just build something magical.

Five days a week, Muriel designs sea walls to protect the world from rising oceans. On the weekend, she transforms into Mermaid Azuriel and indulges her true passion - swimming with her blue and gold mermaid tail and captivating visitors at the local mermaid lagoon she designed herself.

When Muriel meets Dan-a prosthetics engineer haunted by past heartbreaks-he sends unexpected ripples through her perfectly engineered world.

Dan is obsessed with one mission: to build a revolutionary bionic mermaid tail for his niece Sophie, a young girl with a neuromuscular disorder who dreams of swimming free. He's brilliant, stubborn, and absolutely not looking for love.

But Muriel may be the one engineer who has the expertise to make his dream a reality.

As they collaborate on the impossible, Dan's protective walls start to crack, and Muriel discovers there's more to this grumpy engineer than meets the eye. But with Dan's wounded past and Muriel's knack for making waves, can they somehow engineer a path to happily ever after?
