“Beach Bodies: Prologue”
- On the Eighteenth of November, 1929 a tsunami devastated Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula. It caused a considerable amount of property damage, and 28 people lost their lives. That much is public knowledge.
- What isn't commonly known is that there were two unaccounted, amnesiac survivors. Discovered by Dr. Maurice Smallwood, they were quickly nursed back to health. What the young man, and woman knew is that they were family. What Dr. Smallwood quickly discovered is that they were anything but human. Displaying tremendous strength, and a plethora of aquatic abilities they were integral to the rebuilding effort.
- Then one day they vanished, never to be seen again for Eighty-Nine years.

“Beach Bodies: Part 1”
- Alani Ryan was always happy about her typical life in Hawaii, aside from tourists she didn't have many complaints as long as the waves were good. Which is why she didn't put a lot of thought into following her boyfriend Norrin on vacation to Newfoundland. Surely Spring Break couldn't be that bad there?
- Meanwhile Interpol agent Nelson had been hot on the trail of the infamous Anna "Rogue" Raven for the better part of a year before she caught a break. Venice Beach, California wasn't the most specific clue, but it was something. Still, she was certainly surprised to arrive to the sight of a water-free ocean, and an unconscious Rogue.
- And a pair of cousins request an audience with the United Nations.
