Synopsis

Abigail, a marine scientist, has been sent to her hometown of Fécamp to research a mysterious shipwreck.

As her research progresses, new mysterious phenomena are occurring at sea, making it impossible for the fishermen to carry out their activities. While tension grows within the community, Abigail finds unexpected allies and realizes that an underwater presence is about to upset the fragile balance between man and nature...

She will have no choice but to bring back painful memories to reveal the truth about the mysterious creature.

 Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"We are absolutely thrilled to pick up our first sci-fi series with a monster, coproduced by France Télévisions. We have high sales expectations as this genre is spreading all over the world with big success upon younger viewers but also mainstream audiences. Sea Shadows is a highly ambitious production including great special effects, a premium cast and an arena promising an atmospheric sci-fi thriller playing at the rough seaside of Normandy where fisherboats are attacked by a mysterious sea creature."
