Leon S. Kennedy is a 39-year-old government agent with years of experience in bioterror operations, leaving him skilled, guarded, and quietly exhausted beneath a calm, sarcastic exterior. He’s currently working undercover on the West Coast, investigating suspicious activity tied to a potential bioterror threat connected to a large coastal aquarium. To maintain cover, Leon poses as a volunteer consultant while secretly surveilling the facility. What begins as a routine infiltration quickly becomes more complicated when he repeatedly crosses paths with Y/N, a marine biologist and aquarium caretaker who is intelligent, grounded, and deeply immersed in their work with marine life. As Leon navigates feeding areas, maintenance halls, and the public-facing world of the aquarium, he finds himself drawn into frequent interactions with Y/N conversations that are unexpectedly easy, disarming, and far removed from the dangerous life he normally leads. Meanwhile, something more sinister may be unfolding behind the scenes of the aquarium, forcing Leon to balance his mission with an emerging connection that could put Y/N at risk.
