Overview
On a foggy San Francisco summer day, the Vantalos family, Sienna (mom), Bryant (son), and Tyler (daughter) set off on their frequent weekend trips to Monterey Bay to visit the Aquarium. As a busy single mom and biotech executive, Sienna knows how important these trips are to rest and recharge. As they drive up to their favorite beach, it’s surprisingly closed due to a sickness that is sweeping through the endangered Sea Otter population. This mysterious sickness baffles Dr. Golden, the marine biologist from Monterey Bay Aquarium tasked with figuring out why the Sea Otters are getting sick. Join the Vantalos family as they travel back in time to discover why their past is an important piece of the mystery and what they can do to save the Sea Otters. Find out why the Palm and Tarot Reader Mrs. Laurie is so interested in Sienna and why the Native American Rumsen people hold the key to the mystery. Explore the 1790s Monterey Bay as the trio unravels the mystery of their past, early California history, and why we must respect the past and make sure we learn from it as well.
