Dylan awakens from centuries of oceanic slumber to repay a sacred life debt, agreeing to wed an ambitious businesswoman named Ella and guard her enterprise for five full years. Suppressing his divine powers beneath cheap suits and kitchen aprons, he silently resolves corporate disasters, secures billion-dollar shipping contracts, and shelters her from ruthless rivals. Yet Ella views him as an embarrassing, unambitious househusband, constantly belittling his quiet devotion.
The moment his five-year oath expires, Dylan packs a single duffel bag and walks away into the coastal mist, reclaiming his primordial authority over the oceans. Left stranded without his supernatural intervention, Ella watches her corporate empire crumble under crushing commercial lawsuits and predatory takeover bids. Desperate and remorseful, she rushes to the shores begging for his return, only to discover the spouse she discarded controls the tides.
