farm with her father and younger sister, Clover. Following her
mum's death several years earlier, Pearl refuses to set foot on

ground. Meanwhile, Clover dreams of school, friends and a normal
life. Then Nat comes to spend the summer at the sea farm while his
scientist mum conducts some experiments. Leaving behind the
mainland, with its strict rules and regulations, he brings with him
a secret. But when the sisters promise to keep his secret safe,
little do they realize that they may be risking everything... A
