Remarkably Bright Creatures

Tova Sullivan is an elderly cleaning lady who works nights cleaning an aquarium in Sowell Bay, Washington, despite having been encouraged to retire. There, she shares gossip and a friendship of sorts with the arrogant Marcellus, himself also on the older side (for an octopus). Cameron is a young drifter who ends up in town, with expensive repairs required for his van. After injuring herself, Tova begins to transition her job and responsibilities at the aquarium to Cameron. Both Tova and Cameron's past and family come into focus as Cameron searches for his absent father.
