December 1944. The German army rampages through the frozen wastes of Belgium's Ardennes Forest. Among the many Allied prisoners taken en route, a small band of American soldiers manages to escape.

Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones star in this fantasy adventure loosely based on Herman Melville's classic novel 'Moby Dick'. Captain Ahab (Glover) and his crew are joined by harpoonist Ishmael (Corey Sevier) in their hunt for the White Dragon, the merciless creature that killed Ahab's family when he was a boy and left him scarred and mutilated for life. As they close in on their quarry, Ahab's beautiful adopted daughter, Rachel (Sofia Pernas), must choose between her allegiance to her father's dark quest and her newfound love for the dashing Ishmael.
