People fighting over the fate of an old town that's becoming popular and gentrified, while some strange supernatural whale stuff happens. It wasn't all that interesting to me, but might be for people for whom it hits closer to home. I found most the characters unlikable, but the same can be said for how I feel about most people in real life, so I assume, despite the supernatural whales, the characters are fairly realistic. Unfortunately, it also did mean I never got invested in their struggle. 

I considered giving up on the story, but finished it since it was audio, the story wasn't slow, and the narrators didn't bother me even though I don't really like multi-narrator books.
