A desperate scientist starved for success and drowning in criticism, discovers what might be the biggest evolutionary breakthrough of human history. A living mermaid found in Canada's Lake Minnewanka. Or perhaps ... it’s all a sadistic hoax for success driven by the obsession to have a lover that is perfect in every way, shape, and form.
