A claustrophobic survival thriller that traps a grieving man inside a whale with limited oxygen, forcing him to confront his father's legacy while racing against death.

Following the death of his father, Jay Gardiner goes diving off the central Coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale. While trapped inside its belly with only one hour of oxygen left, Jay comes to realize that the hard-earned lessons his father imparted may be the key to his escape.
