Fluke

Marine biologist Nat Quinn has been researching humpback whale song for years, without remarkable results, until the day when a whale lifts its tail to display the message "Bite me" spelled out in foot-high letters. Things become even stranger when Nate's research facility is ransacked, and his weathy donor reports that a whale has phoned her, requesting a pastrami sandwich. Suddenly, the answer to the question that has driven Nate's career seems to be within reach, and it's not what anyone would think.

  • "Marine biologist Nate Quinn is in love with the majestic ocean-dwelling behemoths who have been singing their haunting song for twenty million years. But why do the humpback whales sing? That's the question that has Nate and his crew filming, charting, and recording every whale that crosses their path. Until one day when a whale lifts its tail to display a message spelled out in foot-high letters: Bite Me ... No one has ever seen such a thing; not Nate's longtime partner, not world-renowned photographer Clay Demodocus, not their saucy young research assistant, Amy, not even spliff-puffing white-boy Rastaman, Kona. And when the film returns from the lab missing the crucial tail shot and their research facility is trashed, Nate realizes that something very fishy is going on."@en
