STORY
After listening to her grandma’s mad stories about the coming of a giant wave, Noon takes her submarine fishing.

Noon discovers that there might be more to her grandmother’s rambling tale about destruction and tidal waves and that she might have the only key to stopping the destruction, a mythical Tideshell.
