Emma, Cleo and Rikki are sixteen ano old girls growing up on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast. Emma is confident, brilliant, responsible, and athletic. Cleo is slightly insecure, sweet, and awkward while Rikki is an aloof and rebellious new girl.
The girls find themselves stranded at sea one day, floating towards the mysterious Mako Island. The three girls explore the eerie jungle-covered island before deciding to jump into a pool in an ancient cavern under a vulcão to escape. As they enter the pool, the light from a full moon illuminates the water, creating a mysterious glow. Discovering an underwater channel, they decide to swim to safety where they are rescued por the harbour patrol. The seguinte day, the three girls discover that life is never going to be normal again; ten segundos after they touch water, they turn into mermaids. After further experimentation, they find they have sobrenatural powers; Emma can freeze water, Rikki can boil water and Cleo can manipulate the amount and shape of water.
The girls enlist the help of their friend Lewis, who considers himself a scientist, and he attempts to discover the secret behind their transformations.
Everyday situations turn tricky as the girls struggle to cope with their new-found powers, which have numerous advantages and disadvantages, while also trying to keep them a secret from everyone else.
Later on, Emma saves the town's bad boy, Zane, who was trapped in a sinking boat, but a piece of her tail is seen, so Zane looks everywhere near Mako Island for the "sea monster".
