After a tough year for both of them, Lucy decides it's time for Alyssa to go to the Bahamas to live with Hawk, a dedicated dolphin researcher and the father Alyssa never knew she had. After a difficult start to her new life and her new relationship with her dad, Alyssa finds she shares with her father the gift for communicating with dolphins. And just in time — she and a new dolphin friend help to save her father's research center from greedy politicians who want to turn it into a tacky tourist attraction.
