The Tidelands Plot:

Tidelands follows Cal McTeer, played by Charlotte Best, a young woman who returns home to the small fishing village of Orphelin Bay after ten years in juvenile detention then jail.

However, Orphelin Bay is shrouded in mysteries.

When the body of a local fisherman washes ashore, the town’s clandestine relationship with drug smuggling is suddenly on public display. Cal must uncover the town’s well-hidden secrets, while investigating a commune of outcasts who live in a hidden pocket of the bay – a group of beautiful and dangerous half-Siren / half-human “Tidelanders.” Elsa Pataky stars as the mysterious and alluring Adrielle Cuthbert, the leader of the Tidelanders who will go to any length to protect her tribe of people.

Tidelands also stars Australian actors Aaron Jakubenko as Cal’s misguided and secretive brother Augie, and Peter O’Brien as Augie’s faithful deckhand. Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi features as Dylan. New Zealand actor Mattias Inwood is the Senior Constable who also has a secret to uncover with Cal.”
