When he's just a boy, Allen Bauer (Tom Hanks) falls overboard while on a trip to Cape Cod but is quickly rescued by a mermaid. Fast forward 20 years, and Allen still can't stop thinking about the mermaid (Daryl Hannah) who saved his life. He returns to Cape Cod just to test the waters (so to speak) and falls in the ocean. Yet again, he's saved by the same mermaid. The mermaid finds her way to New York to reconnect with Allen and assumes a human body. She quickly learns English and gives herself the name Madison. She and Allen grow closer, but people start to suspect she's not who she says she is.
