Summary: Mercy changed after the hurricane hit. A red algae bloom took over the town, releasing mutated wildlife into the ever-rising waters. Left alone with her grieving mum, Noon is stuck navigating the wreckage, desperate to forget but unable to move on. Then Jimmy, Mercy's predatory leader, offers Noon a chance at freedom, provided she and her mum catch the creature drowning the town's residents. Finding an unlikely ally in Jimmy's deadly hunter of a daughter, Covey, Noon sets out to complete the mission at all costs. But as the next storm approaches, she must decide if she can confront the monsters in her past, and answer the one itching under her own skin.
