Beschreibung
1932. Natalia is 16 and
a bootlegger's daughter, playing the mermaid
mascot on a rundown paddlewheel used to entertain
brewers and distributors. A sequined costume hides her
scarred and misshaped legs, but it can't cover up the painful
memories and suspicions that haunt her. An eccentric healer
who treats patients with Old Country tonics, tries to patch wounds,
but only adds to the heartache. A fierce storm threatens to destroy
everything, including a stash of stolen jewels.
1941. Prohibition is over, but the same henchmen still run the show.
Nattie's new mermaid act is more revealing, with more at risk.
When the dry-docked paddlewheel is bought by the US Navy for
training exercises, the pressure escalates further. Can Nattie
entice a cocky US Navy officer to help her gain access
to the ship for one last chance to confront her past,
settle scores,and retrieve the hidden loot?
Is there a new course ahead?
