Logline
When a teenage girl miraculously survives a shark attack, she discovers an extraordinary ability—she not only can hear the song of the whales, but she understands them. As humanity pushes the ocean to its breaking point, she becomes the voice for Earth's most majestic creatures, leading a global movement to save them before it's too late.
Synopsis
Alex, a gifted and empathetic 18-year-old, has always felt a deep connection to the ocean.

Alongside her supportive mother, Eileen, and her new friend Ned, she takes on the corporate greed of deep-sea mining operations threatening marine life. As Alex's unique ability becomes known to the world, she ignites a movement that forces humanity to listen before it’s too late.
