You'd think it'd be great growing up beside a huge beach in sunny Australia and getting to swim anytime you want to, right? It is great to most of the people living there. But for three teenage girls, being near water is dangerous. After escaping a deserted island, the girls' lives weren't the same. When they got only a small speck on water on their skin, in ten seconds they sprouted a tail. Soon after they discovered they could freeze, expand, and boil water. Now simple everyday tasks are hard for them. Baths, rain, etc. They have to avoid those simple little tasks (besides baths, of course) if they don't want to end up a science project. Life for these girls are a lot harder than it seems.
First there's Rikki Chadwick, the girl who started the mess. She's spunky, lively, and rebellious. Rikki honestly thinks being part fish is "totally absolutely awesome". For Emma Gilbert, she's curious about it. She wants to find out the true reason why they grow a tail whenever they come in contact with water. Then there's quiet little Cleo Sertori. She's afraid of the water and just wants to push all of the mermaid business away. She wants to continue a normal life, which isn't really possible anymore. Lewis McCartney is the trio's friend. He's willing to use all of his knowledge and wit to help the girls regain their normal life. But local bad-boy Zane Bennett is out to find the girls' secret and blow their cover. Is he just dating Rikki to get her to tell him the secret or does he really like her? Nobody knows for sure.
