An alien invasion changes human life on Earth. Their ships disintegrate on Earth, leaking poisons into the soil. The aliens take to the seas. With nowhere for people to go, many perish. Tansy and Luke take their daughter Maria to their family home by the ocean, seeking refuge. But there are strange creatures in the water, and they have a siren's call that is irresistible and unavoidable. Things change at the shore. Inexplicably, children are hungry all the time. And already it is too late... To lose a loved one to Death is almost unbearable. But to lose a loved one still living, and changing because of the aliens, requires a surrender no one is prepared to make.
