Fisher, an awkward misfit in a small fishing town, has never fit in on land. After venturing into forbidden waters, he’s bitten by a mysterious mermaid and unexpectedly transforms into Princess Baby — a fully femme mer-creature with no roadmap home. When returning to the village proves impossible, her new friend Pisscat nudges her toward the ocean to discover who she might become there.

Out at sea, Princess Baby befriends Marial, a mermaid determined to trade her tail for legs so she can be with her human love, the Prince. The Prince happens to be heir to FishBliss, the powerful fishing corporation that dominates the local economy and has recently released a wildly popular new product called Mergaine.

Princess Baby’s attempts to undo her transformation lead her to the Sea Witch, whose magic only complicates matters. As Princess Baby continually adjusts to changes she begins to uncover unsettling truths about the tangled relationships between the merfolk, the kingdom, and the fishing industry — including the hidden cost of Mergaine’s success.

Tensions rise, transformations occur, and exactly how it resolves? Let’s just say that at the ball, someone might get stabbed… but the deeper message is embracing friendship and our inner-truths, no matter how strange and non-conforming they turn out to be.
