In terms of the plot of the film, The Sea Beast is set in a time long ago when terrifying beasts roamed the seas and celebrated heroes of the era were monster hunters, of whom none were more beloved than the great Jacob, according to Deadline. But when the young Maisie stows away on his storied vessel, Jacob is unexpectedly burdened with taking care of the child, who soon becomes his greatest ally. Venturing into unexplored seas, together they journey toward a history-making adventure.
