About

A married mussel harvester in North Wales faces an impossible dilemma when an itinerant deckhand arrives and attraction grows between them.

In a small fishing community in North Wales, Jack (Barry Ward) is a mussel harvester who has been married to Maggie (Liz White) for more than half his life. He runs the family business, which has harvested mussels for generations, with his younger brother Dyfan (Celyn Jones). Jack expects his son Tom (Henry Lawfull) to take over one day, but Tom shows little interest in the family trade. When Daniel (Lorne MacFadyen), an itinerant deckhand, comes to work in the village, an attraction develops between him and Jack, placing Jack in an impossible dilemma.
