The annual winter fisheries are about to start, but the great catch never seems to come their way. It turns out that large industrial trawlers have emptied the ocean of fish, and it looks like ordinary little fishing boats will have a hard time surviving. The trawlers belong to a new, supermodern fishing enterprise owned and run by the tough business vessel The Arctic Queen. Elias discovers what's going on, and gathers all his power in order to save the future of his tiny coastal community.
