Synopsis: | Reeling from a painful break-up, kindergarten teacher Miriam Moselle loses it in front of her class. After possibly traumatizing the six-year-olds indefinitely with a tirade about male chauvinism in "The Little Mermaid," Miriam inexplicably turns into a mermaid herself. Her unusual situation attracts media attention, and she suddenly finds herself a polarizing national figure. Can she use the publicity to get back at her ex? Will she find her voice, will she find herself, and will she ever fall in love again? | |||||
