The show is centered around Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay as they join King Triton's son, Gil, on a trip under the sea. The special begins with the Auradon Prep students having some downtime after their successful mission to rescue Evie's mother, the Evil Queen. However, Mal is feeling unfulfilled and yearns for an adventure. Her opportunity arrives in the form of an invitation from Gil, who wants to take the gang on a trip under the sea to explore his underwater kingdom.

Upon arriving in the underwater world, the group discovers that things are not as peaceful as they appear. There is a power struggle between Gil and his rival, a mermaid named Uma, who wants to take over the throne. Uma is aided by her two henchmen, Harry Hook and Gil's ex-girlfriend, Uma.

As the group tries to navigate the troubled waters, they encounter different sea creatures, including a giant squid and a sea serpent. They must work together to overcome these obstacles and stop Uma from usurping the throne. Mal also has to confront her own insecurities about her place in Auradon and the fact that she might not always be accepted by the people from her past.
