~~<p>In her work at Marineland on France's Cote d'Azur, Stephanie is all confidence and control. With hand signals and an almost telepathic empathy, she guides killer whales through their moves for vacationing families. She's a cocky force of nature in her off hours, too, navigating her way through schools of pickup artists at the local disco.</p>
<p>Then an accident leaves her mangled and isolated. Shellshocked and unable to reconnect with her former life, she impulsively reaches out to Ali, the brutish club bouncer she met before the accident. The beauty and the beast form the most unlikely of alliances as they remake their lives.</p>
