Set against the backdrop of a declining fishing industry in Cornwall - Samuel and his grandson Vinnie wrestle with grief, connection and the pressures of survival. On a day like any other, their bond is tested at sea, leading to an unexpected discovery that offers both hope and a way forward.
A tender story of resilience, tradition and the ways we carry our loved ones with us, even after loss.
