The captains venture out into Cape Cod Bay, after a storm rocks New England. Paulie- the king of Bluefin tuna, and Donnie- a legend known for catching the largest fish on rod and reel- take on Anthony, a young captain with a different strategy.
It's the end of the season and the captains' last shot at giant tuna. The race is on to Georges Bank, the legendary fishing ground from "The Perfect Storm." 150 miles from shore, the bluefin are winning- and the captains must take on the fight themselves.
