Join the remarkable journey of Maputa, an ancient coelacanth captured for a Florida aquarium, and the diverse sea creatures who must choose between captivity and freedom when fate intervenes.

Featuring a special introduction by Roger T. Rufe, President of the Ocean Conservancy.

When an ancient coelacanth named Maputa is captured and displayed at a Florida aquarium, she joins a diverse group of marine creatures struggling with captivity. Through the eyes of an intelligent octopus, philosophical fish, captive dolphins, and injured sea creatures, this ecological adventure explores what happens when a rogue wave offers them a choice: the safety of human care or the dangerous freedom of the open ocean. A unique tale of faith, friendship, and environmental consciousness told from the ocean's perspective.
