In the deepest recesses of the ocean, Graciela - once an ordinary girl - now welcomes newly awakened sea ghosts from their death sleep. Though Graciela's spirit is young, she has lived at the bottom of the ocean for more than a hundred years. Meanwhile, on land, twelve-year-old Jorge has heard of the supernatural spirits living beneath the ocean's waves. When he discovers a hand-wrought harpoon with the power to spear a sea ghost, he knows he must destroy it. When the harpoon is accidentally reunited with its vengeful creator, Graciela and Jorge have to work together to keep evil spirits from wreaking havoc on both the living and the dead. If only the answer didn't lie within the depths of the abyss.
