Inspired by Bernardo Santareno's “The Lugger” and “In the Seas of the End of the World”, this is the story of a captain of a codfish lugger, fishing in the banks of the Newfoundland who decide to risk sailing to Greenland in search of more fish. Along the way, he has to face storms, crew revolt and deal with the best and the worst of humanity when tested in extreme circumstances.

Um pescador caído em desgraça luta pela sobrevivência contra o mar e a hostilidade dos outros, numa viagem fatídica do lugre bacalhoeiro Terra Nova, quando o Capitão decide arriscar numa rota nunca antes navegada, que intensifica o medo e conflito entre a tripulação.
