What do we do with the feelings too big to hold?
In the still waters of the Unseen Kingdom, a soft-hearted otter named Ollie carries a secret weight. He isn't like the others; he is quiet, sensitive, and easily overwhelmed by the world's noise and tide. When a sudden loss washes over his world, Ollie clings to the only thing that brings him calm: a smooth, round stone named Skip.
But when the ocean calls him to deeper waters, Ollie must decide whether the strength he's searching for lies in what he holds... or in what he's learning to let go.
