In the heart of the ocean, a community of sea serpents lives on a secret island, shielded by the magical smoke of Uncle Ludovic, part sea monster, part dragon. Among them is young Rufus, who prefers to spend time on his own and doesn't really fit in—especially because he can't swim. When disaster strikes and Uncle Ludovic loses his powers to protect the island, it is time for Rufus to step up and save his family. But will he be able to overcome his deepest fear?
