Ramón and his family live in La Paz, California, just outside of Baja, California along the Vermilion Sea. Ramón’s father is a pearl dealer and for Ramón’s sixteenth birthday his father made him a partner in his firm and renamed it Salazar and Son. Ramón goes pearl diving in a lagoon with a friend of his father’s and there, Ramón finds a huge, black pearl known as The Pearl of Heaven. The Pearl of Heaven unlocks a mysterious monster, known as the Manta Diabla. The Manta Diabla will stop at nothing to get his pearl back.

Will the the Manta Diabla get its pearl back, and will Ramón survive?
