Out on the Northern California coast, a halibut fisherman struggles to keep his head above water as the ocean, the bills, and new closures threaten to shut him down. What starts as another season turns into a battle to hold onto his boat, his living, and his family. This is a story about hard work, bad luck, and the stubborn passion that keeps a man going when everything else says quit.
