In 1930, Jack the miner is grieving the loss of his young son.
In a desperate attempt to escape his misery, he makes the choice to leave.
With a motley crew of Scots, he embarks on Arctic fishing with the promise of a better life.
John Gerard Fagan, the author of the memoir Fish Town, takes us on a ride to the Arctic Sea through Jack's battle for survival on a crammed and gruesome ship and inescapable submission to the cruelty of nature and humankind alike.
In the background, memories of his life as a miner, while a permanent excruciating pain from mourning his own child lingers.
Be ready for a tale of human suffering, violence, and sadness with this story of the hard side of human life.
