During a summer of El Niño weather conditions, Kai Sosa hopes to prove his swimming prowess on an elite invitational team. Once an up-and-coming athlete, he is determined to live up to his family's swimming legacy in a competition against the infamous Sea Wolves, even if he is the team's weakest link. But recently, he’s been haunted by puzzling dreams where he sees his dead sister, Cali, swimming in the Pacific Ocean with dolphins. When he wakes, it’s hard to hold back the dam of feeling he’s been working so hard to contain. He becomes convinced Cali's sending him a message about her last request—to find a beloved gold cuff that went missing.
