Α man falls overboard his fishing boat in the cold waters of the North Sea, and slips into a deep coma, leaving his three sons to deal with their mental breakdown, the family business, a massive debt, and their personal underhand affairs. A story about the unbearable (and often invisible) cargo of desperation, which can destruct even the strongest bonds.
