Sirene

"There is a legend that says that mermaids guard magical pearls in the North, South, East, and West of the Philippines. Every full moon those mermaids sacrifice a person for the sake of the ocean. For several thousand years the magical pearls were taken care of, until one night a mischievous young man and known swindler stole the pearl of the West, guarded by Sirene. A magical pearl, a mermaid, a mischievous swindler, a Japanese ship captain. . . their paths will cross as World War II approaches." --
