Maar die geheim wat hulle ontdek, is selfs vreemder as wat hulle ooit kon raai … Kan hulle die eienaars van die akwarium help om een van die see se grootste geheime te bewaar?

Sixteen-year-old Ezra McAdam has much to be thankful for: trained up as an apprentice by a well-regarded London surgeon, Ezra's knowledge of human anatomy and skill at the dissection table will secure him a trade for life.
