Josh feels alone in his own home.  His mother's always cleaning, his sister's busy being a teen, and his grandmother spends most of her time watching television.  One day, Josh hears a mysterious song from the sea.  He convinces his grandmother to take him to the ocean, where he learns the secrets of the dolphins during an undersea adventure.  Josh and his family become closer as a result of his fantastic ordeal.
