   Summary

   Simon is forced to work on a remote island used for sending cargo after his conviction. Everyday seems like it will be the same as the last, that is until people go missing, large ships get detrimental gashes in them, and a mysterious man covered in scales washes ashore on one of Simons night walks.

   or;

   Merman Grace and Human Simon get into some shenanigans!
