Whale fall

The Martian meets 127 Hours in this powerful human thriller about a diver swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and given only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.

Jay Gardiner has given himself a foolish mission: to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. He knows it's a long quest, but Jay feels it's the only way to lift the weight of guilt he's been carrying since his father's death the previous year.

The dive starts well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real danger, made worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking for food. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid's tentacles and pulled into the whale's mouth, where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He soon realizes he only has one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to overcome his demons and escape the whale's belly.

Whalefall is a "breathtakingly beautiful" (New York Times bestselling author Gillian Flynn) cinematic thriller about a young man who gives up on life, only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unexpected places.
