That is how the locals call Doctor Salvator - a brilliant surgeon who, through his noble work, helps poor peasants and fishermen free of charge. But the doctor does not only heal and correct the mistakes and injustices of nature; he also creates, as befits a God. Thanks to the latest scientific achievements and his own talent, Salvator created a man capable of existing in two worlds yet completely unadapted to the realities of human society.Meet Ichthyander, an enigmatic young man who has lived underwater since childhood. When the beautiful Guttierre enters his life, Ichthyander's underwater paradise collides with the harsh reality of land-based intrigues. Professor Salvator, his creator and protector, tries to shield his ward, but the forces eager to exploit Ichthyander's unique abilities for their own selfish ends are too powerful. Their blossoming connection becomes the heart of the conflict, a fragile spark threatened by the relentless pursuit of others.
