Emily Habeck's unique premise about a man turning into a great white shark gives way to a tender story about the endurance of a married couple's love. "Shark Heart" follows a recently married couple, Wren and Lewis, who are devastated by the news that Lewis has a rare condition that will slowly transform his body into that of a shark. Wren struggles to face the reality that her husband will soon exist in another form, and when his transformation becomes dangerous, she's forced to confront a childhood she has long repressed. Lewis, an artist who feels he hasn't fulfilled his purpose, tries to come to terms with the legacy he will leave behind once he has changed and how to grieve the life he will no longer have. With the clock ticking on the time this married couple have left, their attempts to grapple with an epic life change is, at once, vulnerable and devastating.
