The story

Brothers Steven and Martin Ward live in a Cornish fishing village whose economy has become increasingly reliant on tourism. Steven has inherited their late father’s fishing boat and uses it to take tourists on boat trips, a point of contention with Martin, who struggles to maintain a traditional way of life fishing and selling his catch door-to-door without a boat. Martin resents the tourist presence in the town and their impositions on the local way of life, including complaining about the noise the fishermen make in the morning and causing the local pub to close during the winter off-season.
