SERIES PREMIERE A lone mermaid roams an endless wasteland on a quest beyond reason. To press ever onward, she must survive the interminable stretches between tiny pockets of water, the roaming bands of cybernetic cannibals, and the fearsome mutant beasts. What propels her forward to take such a risk?

The mermaid plunges into a hidden water cave, narrowly escaping death. But with her mobile home—the H.A.V.C. (Hybrid Aquatic Vehicular Chamber)—all but destroyed, she may be permanently hindered from her vital mission. At least the water cave makes for an ideal home. …Or does it?

The mermaid and her only companion—a tiny axolotl named Lottie—are thrust into peril once again when they encounter a fearsome water beast looking for its next meal. Things get more complicated when a mysterious stranger enters the fray. Is he friend or foe?

Secrets unfold when a mysterious stranger joins the mermaid. At long last, the mermaid reveals her desperate lifelong mission. And much to her shock, the stranger claims to know the way to fulfilling her dream. But can the cautious mermaid put her trust in this enigmatic wanderer?

The H.A.V.C.’s water supply grows toxic once more, and the mermaid takes a desperate gamble to speed up her quest. Not only does the gamble backfire, but the mermaid and Torque tumble into mutant territory within the canyons of a volcanic hellscape. A desperate battle ensues!
