Plots:
A touching friendship story between a dog and a dolphin.
Mary Beth is a marine biologist who gets annoyed when a dog named Zeus stows aboard her research boat. Nevertheless, she is intrigued when he makes best friends with her captive dolphin, Roxanne. She falls in love with his owner, Terry, a musician who rides a bike.
This is a movie about a marine biologist named Mary Beth, who is a single parent and leads a hectic life with her two impossible daughters, Judith and Nora. She, along with her partner, Becky, are trying to study and save a beautiful dolphin named Roxanne. Unfortunately, Mary Beth’s greedy partner, Claude Carver, tries to capture and sell Roxanne. A dog named Zeus stows away on one of Mary Beth’s boat trips one day, which really annoys her. However, when she finds out that he and Roxanne can do “interspecies communication”, she is intrigued and curious. She meets Terry, Zeus’ owner and Jordan’s single father, and they go out. In the end, it’s a race to save Roxanne and Zeus after they’re kidnapped by Claude.
