What with his leukaemia Cappys used to not being allowed to do things he wants like eating sweets playing with dogs or roaming too far from his protective family so hes delighted when the amazing whale not only speaks to him but asks him to join him for a ride in the sky Soon Cappy and the whale are the best of friends and together they will go on an amazing journey of imagination hope and curiosity
