A physician drowns while rescuing a child and revives as a maid in an undersea mermaid kingdom. She discovers she can perceive the thoughts of three royal infants whose incessant crying masks a horrifying mental refrain: insects are devouring their gills. Her ability to diagnose the true affliction earns the king's trust. The situation shifts when the king's deceased sister reappears alive. The infants tremble in her presence, and their thoughts expose a terrifying reality: the seemingly devoted maternal figure is not human.
