Nahuel is an introverted boy who is afraid of the sea. Even though he spends his days helping his father, a great fisherman, in the little village by the sea where they have lived all their lives. Their relationship is cold and distant, because Naguel believes his father is disappointed to have a kid that is unable to get into the ocean. One day, Nahuel finds a magic book that seems to be the solution for his troubles. The book, however, is desired by an ambitious wizard, who, in a frustrated attempt to take advantage of it, ends up capturing the boy’s father and separating them in the middle of a terrible storm. It’s the beginning of a fantastic adventure that will take Nahuel, across an archipelago, into the depth of his own fears.
