SYNOPSIS
Martin Ward is a cove fisherman without a boat. His brother, Steven, has re-purposed their father’s vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbour. When he attempts to restore the family to their traditional place, a tragedy changes his world.

A Statement by
Mark Jenkin
"Change is inevitable, unstoppable, even welcome. But as the promise of a new bright future is being ushered in, who is thinking about what is being lost, forgotten, and be ultimately yearned for? This is where my form and content meet."
