Whale Talk

WHALE TALK is the story of TJ (The Tao) Jones, a young black teen determined to live by his own code in the very white city of Cutter, WA. At Cutter High, TJ is a problem to be solved: maverick, trouble-making and maddeningly articulate, TJ is also the school's most gifted athlete. Though he resists every prodding to join an organized sport, TJ instead enlists a team of outsiders for his new swim team...in a school without a swimming pool. His team may never win a race but they learn to define themselves on their terms - finding dignity and friendship in a school that has shunned them...all while TJ becomes an unstoppable force in the pool and out. WHALE TALK is inspiring, hilarious, thrilling, heartbreaking and by its end, truly shocking.
