Las luchas y dificultades de los barcos pesqueros de Massachusetts y de sus tripulaciones cuando zarpan en busca de atún rojo. Estos capitanes, pescadores que se juegan todo al pescar un atún rojo de 450 kilos, saben que pueden venderlo por diez o veinte mil dólares. Definitivamente, el que no arriesga no pesca, porque estos pescadores deben invertir desde dos mil hasta los veinte mil dólares en gasolina, carnada, alimento y herramientas de pesca para atrapar al preciado diamante del océano.

The long, cold winter has just hit New England, and while the bluefin tuna season has come to an end in Gloucester, Mass., it’s just getting started in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After a disappointing season, several of Gloucester’s top fishermen head south to try to salvage their finances by fishing for the elusive bluefin tuna in unfamiliar Carolina waters before the experienced locals beat them to the catch. It’s a whole new battlefield and the Northern captains must conquer new styles of fishing, treacherous waters and the wrath of the Outer Banks’ top fishermen. They’re gambling on what could be a massive payday … or a huge financial loss.
