“This one, this one right here… this was my dream, my wish. And it didn’t come true. So I’m taking it back. I’m taking them all back.”
― Goonies

A chilly New England island holds a mystery that could save the people of the island and perhaps the world.

Cormac Wainwright (Zach Norton) – The ferryman who shuttles seasonal visitors from the mainland.

Sawyer Payne (John Holt) – And 11 year old boy- one of the few kids in his generation on the island.

The Secret: A Selkie with the ability to control the weather and calm the storm.

The Pursuer: Trident Industries and Dr Theodore Gilman, a cover for a group of people who wish to raise the lost city of Atlantis and regain their position of glory and power.

The Danger: The Wrath of the Sea, whether a natural force or called by the family of the Selkie, it threatens to swallow the island beneath the waves.
