Die wêreld se tropiese waters word bewoon deur 'n vis wat alle ander verdwerg, maar tog maak die kleinste wesens dit brandstof. Die walvishaai bestee sy lewe aan ryk opgraderings van mikroskopiese plankton. Aan die ooskus van Afrika dra die warm strome van die Indiese Oseaan 'n oënskynlik oneindige voedselvoorraad saam. Met die aanvang van die lente verlaat die sagte reuse elke jaar die ekwatoriale waters van die Seychelle en volg hierdie strome suidwaarts, op 'n merkwaardige reis, uniek in die natuur, duisende kilometers ver langs die snelweë van die oseaan.

Our story follows one whale shark on its trip to the southernmost tip of the continent to unravel the mystery of the whale shark's incredible journey.
