Kahu, an eight-year-old girl, yearns for her great-grandfather's love while grappling with the expectations of her Maori tribe in Whangara, New Zealand. As the first female in generations, she faces the challenge of being overlooked for the role of chief due to tradition. However, her unique ability to communicate with whales, inherited from the legendary whale rider, empowers her. With this gift, Kahu seeks to connect her tribe with their ancestry and prove her worth, ultimately striving to change the future of her people.
