Description
The Merciful has made its most enigmatic catch yet: a massive whale containing a still-living man within its stomach lining. Sailor Isaiah Chase is tasked with keeping this mysterious individual alive, and as their relationship deepens, a series of tragic events befalls the ship and its crew. As the crew's quest for whale oil continues under an increasingly unhinged captain, strange accidents and injuries multiply, and Isaiah begins to experience prophetic dreams that foretell the sea's vengeance. The enigmatic man eventually reveals to Isaiah that the crew has fallen into a cycle of punishment for their greed and destruction, forcing him to confront the consequences of his actions. Isaiah must now choose between this new, strange love and the fate of the ship itself, as the line between survival and damnation blurs.
