a wealthy Californian shipowner, is preparing for a whaling expedition. Captain Hull and his small crew navigate towards the waters of New Zealand, where the whaling season is underway. However, unforeseen complications arise as Captain Hull faces challenges in his crew's disobedience and the shift in whale populations.
