Nell’inverno del 1820, la baleniera del New England viene attaccata da una creatura incredibile: una balena dalle dimensioni e la forza elefantiache, ed un senso quasi umano di vendetta. Il disastro marittimo, realmente accaduto, avrebbe ispirato Herman Melville a scrivere Moby Dick. Ma l’autore ha descritto solo una parte della storia. Heart of the Sea - Le origini di Moby Dick rivela le conseguenze di quella straziante aggressione, di come i superstiti dell’equipaggio della nave vengono spinti oltre i loro limiti e costretti a compiere l’impensabile per poter sopravvivere. Sfidando le intemperie, la fame, il panico e la disperazione, gli uomini mettono in discussione le loro convinzioni più radicate: dal valore della vita alla moralità delle loro spedizioni, mentre il capitano cerca di riprendere la rotta in mare aperto, ed il primo ufficiale tenta di sconfiggere il capodoglio.
