Let go by her newspaper in Cincinnati, she found a new job in New Jersey, leaving behind her family, friends, and a cheating fiancé. Vickie has been told she’ll be assigned to a breaking story about the Mayor and his newly-appointed female Police Chief. Instead, she is suddenly made to cover the arrival of a whale on the New Jersey shore — a huge sperm whale, like Moby Dick. The sooner this whale returns to the ocean or dies, the sooner Vickie can get back to her Mayor’s story. But the struggling whale’s plight won’t be resolved quickly.
