The bluefin market in Gloucester remains closed, but not forever. After four long days off the water, the boats get the green light to start up again, and everyone is eager to make up for lost time. But when payouts at the fishery are lower than expected, disappointment sets in across the board as the captains realize there is still a long road ahead until the market stabilizes.

The captains face intense weather conditions just days after the market shut down and must decide whether it's worth risking it all to ride out the storm or stay in and lose out on a potential paycheck. With extreme conditions and high seas beating down on the boats, and taking a toll on the captains both mentally and physically, everyone faces the ultimate choice: fight or flight?
