The Goddess of the Sea

The Goddess of the Sea is a retelling of Plato’s Atlantis myth, a cautionary tale of greed set on the East End of Long Island where tensions between seafaring locals and their wealthy neighbors come to a head, altering one family’s history and future forever.

​

Growing up in a family of Baymen, Thea Bassett rebels against her cloistered clan’s insular traditions, wanting more from life than running the family farmstand and raising a bunch of kids. Propelled by visions of a mysterious underwater kingdom, she pursues her passion for the sea in the Florida Keys becoming a dolphin researcher and expert in interspecies communication.

​

Called home to East Hampton for her granny’s funeral, Thea finds herself in the midst of a bitter battle over family land. As the fighting escalates, Thea’s visions become increasingly apocalyptic and she turns to her high school sweetheart, Atlas for help.

​

​Back in the Keys, Thea's dolphins sound a warning, escaping from their lagoon and guiding her on a quest to the Pyramids in Tulum. With Atlas captaining the rescue boat, their romance reignites and their clan’s secret Atlantean ancestry is revealed. But will Thea discover the true meaning of her underwater visions and claim her destiny in time to save her feuding family from disaster? Stay tuned!
