Plot

In the heart of the hustle and bustle of London, we find our protagonist - a jaded music executive (Daniel Mays), living life in the fast lane, far detached from the simplicity of human connection. A stag weekend trip catapults him into the quaint, remote Cornish village, where a clever prank by his boss (Noel Clarke) tasks him with an unlikely mission: to sign a band of fishermen (led by James Purefoy), whose harmonious shanties echo the rhythm of the sea. Finding himself a fish out of water, our protagonist embarks on a journey of trials and tribulations, struggling to earn the admiration of the unsuspecting band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton). Here, in this close-knit community, the lure of fame and fortune takes a backseat to friendship and unity - a stark contrast to the world he knows. Immersed deeper into the community's traditional lifestyle, he finds his values and integrity put to the test. With each passing tide, he questions the true definition of success. Is it chart-topping hits and record deals, or is it something far more invaluable? This tale of transformation is a lyrical journey that explores the true essence of success, community, and self-discovery.
