The second installment with a journalist trying to make a living in a town full of mermaids. What ever will they write about?
Dylan and his brother Connor live in a small apartment while they try to make it as journalists. But there are no local stories so Connor suggests they make one up to bring in new readers. He says they’re not lying, just planting an idea and if people want to believe it, then they can give enough info to support that belief.
The town has a long history of disappearances, which you think would be an obvious place to start since they don’t even need to make anything up. Then comes the revelation that their father disappeared when they were kids and all hopes of these two being good investigative reporters fades.
They interview their mom, who tells them sailors would go out to sea but not everyone would come back. It seems like there should be a bigger focus on this ongoing issue, but apparently the town isn’t that concerned about it.
When Dylan starts dating Serena, Connor is upset. Not only does this take him away from their plans but he’s jealous Dylan has a girlfriend. After he sees Serena lead a man down to the beach, he tries to blackmail her into breaking up with Dylan and dating him instead. Connor is not only a bad person but he’s a terrible brother.
This is mostly a whole lot of nothing. There are only a few mermaid attacks and they are lack luster since they consist of a dazed man walking on the beach, a scream and then close ups of a mermaid lazily trying to consume the man on the ground. And once again, the news in town does not see fit to mention a half consumed man on the beach.
