In the coastal town of Fraserburgh, Scotland, a tight-knit community of fishermen and their families face an existential threat as the government moves to decommission their fleet. As the industry faces collapse, the wives of two local fishermen take a stand, forming the Cod Crusaders to fight for their livelihoods and the future of their town. Their journey takes them from the docks to the halls of power, as they navigate the complex and often unforgiving world of European fisheries policy, all while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for their families.
