On the frigid coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, two families find themselves in the cold water of turbulent times. One, a human family, is immersed in a sea of misdirected emotions and the other, a killer whale family, is faced with the consequence of human interference. Both families are split apart on the rocks of life and heading straight for a collision course. Young Charlie Newhook and his clan were struggling fishermen, who lived under a continual cloud of brooding storms brought on by blinded emotions. The immaturity of a son to understand his family's situation and the inability by the father to express his feelings, introduces a perfect storm of discontent. Cultis, the renegade killer whale, is the product of humanity's quest for greed. Taken from the freedom of the sea, he becomes an uncontrollable force of terror, hell-bent on destroying everything in its path. Blinded by the thirst for revenge, blood is freely spilled on the path of reconciliation, in hopes of shedding the weight of antiquated ways. In a sea of uncertainty, the Newhook clan and the pod of killer whales finally collide, to find unexpected redemption upon the cold-blooded waters of Newfoundland.

In a time when parishioners revered priests, an innocent boy stands before an altar concealing a dark secret. Young Peter Malone is raised by his devout mother, Mary, who is determined to achieve spiritual salvation at any cost. Her unwavering faith leads her to push the boundaries of obedience, placing Peter, her seventh son, in the midst of deceitful clergy. As he embarks on his spiritual journey, Peter is caught between the forces of good and evil surrounding him. Supported by three virtuous priests, he grows inspired yet remains under the watchful eyes of three malevolent ones, whose disturbing actions leave him confused and conflicted. As he navigates the path toward a celibate life, Father Peter Malone seeks answers from his holy brothers but is met with silence. In a void of protection for the vulnerable, the corrupt priests prey on the weakest, leaving a trail of destruction that overwhelms Peter. Ultimately, the burden becomes too great for this innocent soul, leading him to make the ultimate sacrifice. This act not only frees him from his suffering but also serves as a catalyst for change within the church and profoundly impacts Father Peter Malone's life.
