Arthur Curry, heir and soon-to-be king of the ancient, submerged Polynesian kingdom of Malo Magota, known to the outside as Atlantis, finds himself in a hard place when the descendant of an ancient shark god challenges him to the throne. As the Aquaman, Arthur must balance being a mentor to young half-Atlantean Aqualad with besting the King Shark in combat and defending his home from the outside danger of a US special operative with a severe grudge against his kingdom.
After being arrested for the murder of Queen Atlanta, David Hyde is detained in a high class Atlantean prison, approached by a vaguely familiar man, holding an invitation.
