On a small island off the coast of an American city, we find a town in a crisis: The whales have gone missing. While (unofficial) Mayor Annie searches for a solution, Chris works to patch things up with Mary; John offers help to a local drifter; Leslie yearns for a faraway pen pal; Ali has come home to care for her mother, Ella, who keeps a quiet and profound secret. Local newspaper editor Joy keeps a watchful eye over all. The community bustles with comings and goings, intrigue, and hysterical small-town gossip. But where are these whales? Have they simply moved to new waters, or has our collective neglect of the Earth driven them away for good? DEEP BLUE SOUND is a beautiful meditation on our relationship to our neighbors, ourselves, and the natural world around us.
