A dead girl, dressed in a tattered mermaid costume and a harpoon
jutting from her chest, washes ashore on a world-renowned beach in
Florida, bringing with it a nightmare of evil the City of Sarasota
has never known. Chief Homicide Detective Miranda Morales, recently
returned from a forced, yearlong sabbatical, leads the
investigation that rocks the sedate arts and cultural mecca of the
snowbirds who flock to the region in their lavish yachts and
private jets, as well as the locals who resent the intrusion. When
she and her devoted partner, Detective Matt Selva, arrive at the
crime scene, the image of the dead girl transports her back to a
time when she and her sister, as young children, would dress up
like mermaids at their family’s posh home on Longboat Key, and
opens painful memories of her sister’s decade-old suicide. Torn
between duty and denial, she reluctantly attends a cocktail party
hosted by her parents honoring the man who she'd hoped would
propose. That decision catapults her into a world where people,
unmasked, reveal a sordid underbelly of greed, power, obsession,
and inhumanity, too close to home, unraveling a tapestry where all
that glitters turns toxic, and deadly.
