Synopsis
Legend has it that three sisters will be born in the midst of raging storm. When this happens, chaos will ensue. In order to prevent this, Marie, Dolphina and Aira must be separated from each other. But as they grow up, they find their lives swimming against the tide. According to the same prophecy though, one of the triplets is destined to become the queen of "Laot-Daot" or the kingdom of the mermaids and other half-human half-sea-creatures. But she has to find her other sisters first in order to fulfill this fate.Cast
