THE STORY
Fourteen year-old Alyssa (Carly Schroeder) has been living with her grandmother Lucy (Katherine Ross) since the death of her mother a year ago. It’s been a tough year for both of them and Lucy decides it’s time for Alyssa to go to the Bahamas to live with Hawk (Adrian Dunbar), dedicated dolphin researcher and the father she never knew she had.
Alyssa’s arrival on the island comes at a decisively inconvenient time for Hawk, who is busy fighting greedy politicians and “experts” who are determined to turn his research center into a tacky tourist attraction. It’s a prickly relationship between Hawk and Alyssa, but Tamika (Christine Adams), Hawk’s girlfriend, and Daniel (George Harris), Tamika’s father, smooth the way.
Alyssa soon adjusts to island life and discovers the gift she shares with her father for communicating with dolphins, a skill which leads her into a powerful relationship with a wild dolphin which her father, for legitimate scientific reasons, cannot condone. But when the powers-that-be threaten to close down her father’s research stations, it is Alyssa and herwild friend who hold the key, and have the power to bring all parties together.

It's a tale of love, spirituality, and redemption that crosses generations, cultures, and even species.

The film delivers an intelligent, cross-cultural spiritual punch reminiscent of “Whalerider”, but with humor and edginess, particularly in the early Los Angeles scenes, that give it a very unique flavor.

Most of the film takes place in the Bahamas, and features some very smart dolphins, spectacular locations—above water and below
