The story
Sawyer Nelson is a lonely 11-year-old who has been falling behind academically in school since his father's abandonment five years earlier.
One day, while riding his bike to summer school, Sawyer finds a fisherman attempting to help an injured dolphin tangled in a crab trap.
Clay allows the visits to continue, and Lorraine withdraws Sawyer from summer school and lets him volunteer at CMA, and gives him a new wetsuit.
