Set against the backdrop of the 1843 Kent coast, the story follows Ishmaelle, who, after losing her family, disguises herself as a cabin boy to escape her desolate life and seek adventure at sea. As she joins Captain Seneca's whaling ship, the Nimrod, during the tumultuous period of the Civil War, she navigates the brutal world of whaling alongside a diverse crew. This reimagining of Moby Dick from a female perspective explores themes of identity, nature, and the mysterious connection between Ishmaelle and the legendary whale.
