Fisherman Stan Rennie has worked the same stretch of coastline in the North-East of England, where the river meets the sea, for over fifty years and the trade has been in his family for centuries. So when a vast tide of poisoned crabs and lobsters washes ashore like a biblical plague in the wake of a new 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?Stan finds himself thrown into a battle for the future and he becomes the unlikely figurehead for a grassroots campaign to uncover the truth, managing it in the only way he knows how, with heart, determination and a rich strain of gallows humour. A wry, empathetic documentary by Teesider Jeanie Finlay (Your Fat Friend; The Great Hip Hop Hoax; Seahorse; Sound It Out) about navigating through grief and finding power in community.
