Synopsis
Whale Shark Jack stars Abbie Cornish (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Limitless, Robocop) and Michael Dorman (Territory, Joe Pickett) as husband and wife with Alyla Browne (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Sonic the Hedgehog 3) as their daughter Sarah. The family lives an idyllic life on a yacht researching whale sharks, wandering the oceans, and having all kinds of adventures with Sarah’s only friend Jack, a whale shark she rescued as a pup.
Whale Shark Jack follows Sarah’s journey as she tries to recover from an unexpected tragedy and finds herself in the coastal town of Exmouth, WA. She struggles to make new friends and find her feet on land, and even in the comfort of being back with her great-aunt Dot (played by Rachel Ward), she is desperate to return to her old life at sea. Sarah pegs all her hopes on Jack, certain that when his migration brings him back to Exmouth, her mother will take her out on the boat again. But when Jack fails to return, Sarah embarks on a risky mission to find him.
