On an island in the Pacific Northwest, the community gathers to address the disappearance of the local orca pod. While (unofficial) Mayor Annie searches for a solution, Chris tries to get back together with Mary; John reaches out to help homeless Gary; Leslie longs for a faraway pen pal; Ali has come home to care for her mother; and Ella has a secret she only wants to share with local journalist Joy Mead, who she barely knows. But what about the whales? Is there absence just a seasonal glitch, or is it a sign of our collective failure to take care of the earth?
Friendships fray, tumors grow, new love blooms, wood is chopped, poems are written. The seasons change. Will the whales ever return?
