When the Whales Came plot
"A story so enchanting you'll wish it were real."
In 1844 the inhabitants of the island of Samsom left the island en masse, never to return. This was attributed to a curse that ruled the island. Seventeen years later, two children on the neighboring island of Bryher meet a strange old man. They call him 'Birdman'. Then a narwhal (whale) washes ashore and according to Birdman this means that the island of Bryher is now also cursed.
