In the late 1820s, after a life of tremendous hardship and adventure, whaler James Heberley finds his home and true identity in a remote area of New Zealand. In the 1980s a young man in Wellington suddenly loses all knowledge of where and who he is. Summoning up the ghosts of Herman Melville and the great white whale, he embarks on an extraordinary journey through Pacific history.
