In a seaside home, a boy's loneliness is unveiled when a storm washes a whale ashore. As he bonds with the gentle creature, his father realizes the depth of his son's solitude.

The boy discovers the whale is a good listener, and the father discovers the boy is lonely. Together, they return the whale to the sea, and the boy realizes his father can be a good listener, too.
