Sailing from Lahaina, Maui to their homeport of Honolulu aboard their cargo hauling schooner, Tiny, and his father, Slim, are attacked by a humpback whale. Their small ship is nearly sunk before they can make emergency repairs and return to Lahaina.
While in Lahaina repairing their ship, Tiny feels the spirit of the whale calling him. This is 1856, and it had been reported that the whale has a harpoon in her side, the unsuccessful attempt by whalers to take her.
After repairs are made to their ship, father and son sail from Lahaina to where the whale had previously attacked them. There, Tiny, the powerful son of his English father and Polynesian mother, sets out in the ship's dinghy to await the whale. She comes to Tiny, but not before he dreams of being a whale himself, one harpooned when coming to the surface for the precious air necessary for his survival.
The whale comes to Tiny, but the struggle that follows is for the survival of both of them.
