When killer whales invade Glacier Strait, the dolphins' peaceful home becomes a place of terror. With too many females expecting young and too few large males to guard them, Coral's herd is in serious danger. Reluctantly, Coral's father and mother send her in search of her older brother Silver and safer waters. The journey is perilous, as Coral confronts hungry sharks, menacing killer whales, and hazardous fishing nets. Inevitably, she encounters the greatest danger of them all--the finless creatures with long bony tentacles who live inside boats.
