'When fifteen year-old Zac goes camping on Mako Island, he has no idea his every move is being monitored by real-life mermaids Sirena, Nixie and Lyla, whose job it is to ward off trespassers. When he comes into contact with the magical waters of the Moon Pool on the night of a full moon, Zac is given a taste of Mako's powers, waking the next day to discover he has been granted fin-like feet and the power to control water…causing all sorts of trouble for Sirena, Nixie and Lyla.'

'Tony Piccolo is an average Aussie bloke. Early 40s. Affable. Hard working. He's a family man. Tony keeps his 'day job' secret from his wife and kids - for one very good reason. Tony is an underworld enforcer. Gripped by a sudden mid-life crisis, Tony decides he wants out. But in the gangster business, an enforcer with a conscience is a dead man - and a family is a dangerous thing to have.'
