Synopsis: 

Too Many Fish in the Sea is a beachy rom com that follows marine biologist HOLLIE RYAN who is packed up and ready to move on from her home of Little Cayman Island. Surrounded by the clearest turquoise waters and the most spectacular coral reefs in the entire Atlantic Ocean, Little Cayman is a scuba diver’s paradise. But lately, it certainly hasn’t felt like paradise for Hollie. It’s been exactly one year since her childhood sweetheart, JACK, left her in the middle of the night with nothing more than a note and a hollow promise to come back. Though desperate for a change of scenery, Hollie’s departure is interrupted when the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) receives big-time funding for Hollie to use Acoustic Telemetry to track the movement patterns of the invasive lionfish wreaking havoc— not just on local reefs, but throughout the entire Tropical Western Atlantic.
