“This place isn’t normal.”

You won’t find your usual small town drama inTidelands, which stars the criminally underusedFast and FuriousstarElsa Pataky. Pataky is one of a group of inhumanly beautiful and dangerous “Tidelanders” — creatures that are half-Siren and half-human.Tidelandsfollows ex-con Cal McTeer (Charlotte Best) who must uncover these town’s secrets while investigating the strange “Tidelanders.”

But the first hauntingTidelandstrailer won’t reveal many details about the plot, instead painting a picture of a small fishing village in Orphelin Bay with deeply held secrets. There are creepy children, car chases, and a woman who can control water. It’s all very confusing, but it’s an intriguing first look at a series that kind of plays like a dark version of the Australian teen fantasy series,H2O: Just Add Water.

Tidelandsalso starsAaron Jakubenko(Spartacus: War of the Damned) andPeter O’Brien(X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

Here is the official synopsis forTidelands:
