Marine biology graduate student Elizabeth McKay has spent the last decade with the fanatical and seemingly fanciful hope of cracking the code of humpback whale communication, the most complex in the animal kingdom. When a humpback whale swims up the Sacramento River with a strange and unprecedented song, Elizabeth must race to decipher its message in an attempt to save the whale and, ultimately, much more. Even as her work garners global attention, powerful forces surface who want the whale—and Elizabeth—silenced.
