Doug is an awkward Florida drug addict. Divorced and alone, he shares custody of his young daughter with his ex. Doug's reeling from losing his job at a local strip club, where he takes care of the fish in the aquarium. Things are beyond bleak -- so Doug zips his boat out into the Gulf to end the pain of his reality. But at his lowest point, he discovers an injured Mermaid creature clinging to life. For Doug, it's a sign from the Universe - so he brings her home, gives her shelter in his tub and begins to nurse her back to health. He even names her Destiny. As their rapport blossoms, word of his secret gets out and he is forced to protect his new friend by any means necessary.

"This is not dissimilar to a personal favourite of mine - Mako: Jaws of Death. It has a few big names, albeit in small roles, but it's good to see all the same. Effects are generally pretty good, which is a rare thing these days. It's also very nicely filmed, so it looks the part. And finally, the soundtrack is awesome. It's rare that I recommend a new movie, but this one is really good!"
"An American underground subversive classic in this dire cinematic age amidst an ocean of complete screen drek. Mermaid is kind of a miracle. Pitch black, horrific comedy satire classic of the highest order. Genius stuff. Loved the lead. That’s acting man! Who can’t relate on some level to his state of mind? I would never have known of Mermaid if it weren’t for VS. Thanks again Vinegar Syndrome!"
"Movie is good but I feel like the idea is there but not fully thought out. Worth checking out though"
"Take the plunge and open your eyes underwater to view this waterlogged minorpiece."
"Hadn't ever heard of this and couldn't find it streaming so blind bought and watched this weekend and it was very fun! Robert Patrick was awesome to watch, and great performances all around really and an odd kinda scary but funny story."
"A really beautiful film, good premise, great acting"
"Ridiculous! I'm here for it!"
"Amazing packaging as always. Bought after seeing the trailer but couldn’t make it halfway through."
"Happy to see this independent film get a physical release"
"Oddball premise gainfully handled by a great cast."
