Holly Barrett began her acting career at the age of 8 playing the role of “Dixie” in “Cat on A Hot Tin Roof” at the Black Swan State Theatre Company in Perth, Australia. After Barrett appeared in a supporting role in the indie feature “Twisted Minds” and a number of short films and multiple commercials, an opportunity to go to Hollywood came in the form of a request to read for the lead role in a JJ Abrams pilot. She did not land the role so she returned to London to pursue acting. While there, she booked a guest starring role in the series “Hetty Feather” and then landed the leading role as the daughter of Kristin Davis in the world premiere of the play “Fatal Attraction,” at the prestigious Theatre Royal Haymarket on the West End in London. Barrett was born in Perth, Western Australia. She loves to be active and attends boxing class three times a week. Also, she likes to cook, hike, swim, walk the dog and play hockey. Her birthday is Sept. 16.
A camping trip to mysterious Mako Island turns out to be much more than that for outdoorsy teen Zac. Unknown to him, the island is actually the domain of a pod of mermaids, three of whom -- Sirena, Nixie and Lyla -- should be guarding the Moon Pool. But they neglect their duties, and Zac falls in. The waters of the pool endow Zac with special powers, allowing him to transform into a merman when he comes into contact with water and forcing the mermaid pod to leave the waters around the island. Not all of them leave, however; the three transgressors are cast out of the pod and left behind. To rejoin their community, the girls must somehow travel on land and retrieve Zac's new powers. If they fail, they'll remain outcasts forever. Zac enjoys his newfound abilities, and the girls are sympathetic. What's a mermaid to do?
