- Synopsis:
The North-East of England: Fisherman Stan Rennie has worked the same stretch of coastline, where the river meets the sea, for over fifty years; the trade has been in his family for centuries. So when a mysterious tide of poisoned crabs and lobsters washes ashore like a biblical plague, in the wake of a new post Brexit-fuelled development along that same coastline, Stan's world is turned upside-down overnight. Have the sins of the industrial past come back to haunt the present? As officials equivocate, Stan - dealing with the devastation of his business and his own failing health, finds himself thrown into a battle for the future. He becomes the unlikely figurehead for a grassroots campaign to uncover the truth about the die-offs, managing it in the only way he knows how, with heart, determination and a rich strain of gallows humour. A wry, David and Goliath story about navigating through grief and finding power in community. - Actors:
