From her crumbling estate on the Potomac, Yolanda Signorelli von Braunhut is engaged in a David-and-Goliath-like battle to wrest control of her late husband Harold’s iconic toy Amazing Live Sea Monkeys back from the corporate men who stole them from her. Harold von Braunhut and Yolanda Signorelli had worked together for forty years before Harold - a genius magician, scientist and inventor – passed away and left his iconic novelty toy in Yolanda’s care. Yolanda alone possesses the true Sea Monkey secret formula and she alone must free them, not only from their captors, but also from the stain of her husband’s dark legacy.
