Desmond Howl (Maury Chaykin) was once upon a time in a hit band called "The Howl Brothers" back in the 60s to the 80s. He is now a confused recluse obsessed with making music for whales. He is haunted by his brother Daniel (Paul Gross)'s death and his ex-wife Fay Ginzburg-Howl (Jennifer Dale)'s cheating. Claire Lowe (Cynthia Preston) is a drifter who breaks into the seemingly abandoned mansion. They are both troubled and help each other.
Maury Chaykin is simply wonderful. His performance is charming and funny. Cyndy Preston is beautiful and compelling. Her character as the beautiful young muse is a bit too cliché. Otherwise this is a great movie. It also features the Rheostatics pop hit Claire which is fitting of Brian Wilson inspired movie.
