The Sins of a Mermaid | Ettore Piroso
When a mysterious young man arrives in a secluded town on California’s southern coast, no one knows what to make of him. He camps near the cliffs, surrounded by strange instruments, claiming to be conducting “marine research.” To the townspeople, his Arab name and guarded demeanor spark unease. Some think he’s a con artist, others a fugitive, or something far more dangerous.
As rumors swirl, he finds himself cornered by suspicion and forced to reveal the real reason for his presence, one so irrational, so unbelievable, that it becomes strangely compelling.
Curiosity turns into fascination. Visitors begin to pour in, eager to witness the impossible. With them come money, opportunity, and a fragile sense of hope for a forgotten coastal village.
But when tragedy strikes, the thin barrier between science and madness shatters. Munir’s quest drags the town into a storm of obsession, greed, and betrayal, from which no one will escape unchanged.
