On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six-hundred pound recluse (Shuler Hensley) hides away in his apartment eating himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter (Reyna de Courcy), he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen. Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
