Wiley O'Mara is a poor son of a fisherman who lives on a North Atlantic island. He is 12 and while he is good and brave, he comes from a troubled family. One day, Wiley meets a dolphin named Elden and a mysterious magical woman named Lucinda. They have come to young Wiley for help. Deep in the depths of the blue water, six boys are trapped in a mystical city under the sea. The two plead Wiley for his help. Wiley, though young, never shies away from danger.
