Plucked from post-apocalyptic Santo Domingo, Acilde finds herself at the heart of a prophecy: she must travel back in time and save the ocean from disaster. Electric and visionary, Tentacle plunges into climate change, Yoruba ritual, queer politics, poverty, colonialism and art. It's a restless, addictive trip: The Tempest meets the telenovela.

A generational portrait of Latin America in its post-revolutionary come-down, through the eyes of a recovering heroin addict and artist.
