Jay Gardiner has one hour to live.
Trapped inside the stomach of a sperm whale—yes, inside—after a freak encounter with a giant squid, he’s running out of oxygen fast. But this isn’t just a survival thriller beneath the waves. It’s also about grief, guilt, and a son haunted by the suicide of his father, a man he’s now diving to find.
Alone in the dark, pressure-crushed depths of the Pacific, Jay must battle hallucinations, physical limits, and the crushing weight of regret. And maybe, just maybe, find a reason to keep breathing.
Whalefall is 127 Hours meets The Martian—a breathless, claustrophobic, scientifically grounded survival story that punches the gut and the heart in equal measure.
