Can a killer whale raised in captivity be released into the wild and accepted into orca society?
Only if she wants to.
When two Indigenous teenagers with orca-clan roots are enlisted in an effort to repatriate an orca named Marina with her wild relatives, they find opposition from the most unexpected source. The project appears hopeless until the teens discover a shared, inherited ability to communicate with whales.
Despite Marina's intransigence, the teens-helped by Marina's biological family and two orca researchers-convince her to decide between captivity and freedom.
Marina chooses freedom, and the real trouble begins.
