Alaska, 1989. In uno dei luoghi più freddi della punta Nord degli Stati Uniti, un reporter televisivo scopre casualmente tre balene rimaste intrappolate sotto una lastra di ghiaccio durante una migrazione. La lastra è troppo lunga per essere percorsa sott'acqua ed ha un solo buco dal quale i cetacei possono emergere a prendere fiato. Il servizio realizzato per un canale televisivo locale si rivela un successo tale da attirare sul luogo tutti i canali televisivi nazionali, imprenditori spietati diventati amici dell'ambiente per l'occasione e addirittura una rompighiaccio sovietica, grazie all'intervento del presidente Reagan. Tutto per cavalcare l'interesse di una nazione intenerita di fronte alla sorte di tre balene.
