As the youngest princess of the undersea kingdom, she's always longed to see what lies above. Stealing her way upwards during the dead of night, the mermaid princess finds the man of her dreams as he sails across the dark sea. But one encounter, no matter how dramatic, isn't enough for her. Marina visits the sea witch, and begs to have her fishy tail replaced with human legs. As the story goes, the princess must pay with her voice - but also agree to a condition. If her prince does not return her love, and instead loves another, then she will turn into foam!
