The Storm

Storm Arwen threatens the entire UK fishing fleet. In the North Sea, pair trawlers Victory Rose and Our Lass must haul in sync—dangerous work as the storm builds. With boats rolling in heavy seas, James must choose: shelter in Shetland and risk being trapped, or head for Peterhead to land a partial catch. Four hundred miles south, Siwrengale leaves Bridlington with skipper Darren and sons Lewis and Reagan, racing to catch crab before the storm hits. As conditions worsen, they switch to hunting lobster—but staying upright becomes the real challenge. Meanwhile, Revival makes a last-minute dash for prawns. When the plan fails, skipper George Jack must decide whether to risk heading into the storm for a new catch—or play it safe.
