When Charlie Neon Imagination discovers her first elemental form of water, she begins to have visions created by a mysterious voice known as the Mother of Gold, who tells her to find a lost creature called the Golden Starpearl and return it to her. She sets out with two of her friends, Atom and Sandy.
On their journey, they meet Jasper, a Mersinganoid who is known as the Whisperer of the Reef, and Jayjay, a Jelly-Capped Squid. Their new friends join them on their mission, but Charlie and her friends face danger each time they encounter Pearl, the Giant Spider Squid, an ambush predator, who tries to capture and eat the Golden Starpearl. Will they succeed, or will they even survive?
