A giant sea monster from the Pacific Ocean invades the coastal waters of Seattle, killing and terrorizing the population. While a hunter tries to track the creature to kill it, the Wonkatilla Tribe attempts to protect the monster -- which they worship as their "God of the Ocean."

Seattle filmmaker Oliver Tuthill Jr. directs this deadpan mockumentary that imparts the legend of Willatuk, a fictitious sea serpent that American Indians first spotted swimming in the waters off Puget Sound in 1736. Narrator Graham Greene explores the history of the mysterious creature that's considered sacred by a Pacific Northwest Indian tribe, which vows to protect it from the competing interests of local hunters.
