Mermaids

Three beautiful sisters sail from port to port of some of the most exotic resorts in the world. Their lives are filled with enchanting travel. They exist to partake in the nightlife. And when the moon is full and the smell of jasmine fills the air, they can seduce any man with the promise of unequaled sensual pleasure. It’s an occupation passed down through the centuries by their mother. I’m sure you’re thinking…’what do they charge?’ Nothing much . Just one…lingering…kiss below the waves. And you’ll never even know they killed you.

All is going well until…at one of their stops…a small problem arises. A man that one of them knows, from her past, is there waiting. She knows him from a time in her life when things were quite different. A time when the two of them were in love. A time when a kiss didn’t kill.
