Scottish Mussel (2015)

In the heart of Glasgow, Ritchie, a charismatic dreamer burdened by low expectations and a lack of future prospects, finds himself disenchanted with the urban grind. Driven by a daring plan, he delves into the tranquil beauty of the Scottish Highlands, disguised as a conservation worker at a local centre. Alongside his two bumbling companions, Danny and Fraser, he embarks on a risky venture into the clandestine world of illegal pearl fishing. Ritchie's life takes an unexpected turn upon meeting Beth, a captivating English conservationist fervently dedicated to safeguarding the endangered mussels of the Highlands from the grasping hands of pearl poachers. Love strikes Ritchie with the force of a Highland squall, but winning Beth's heart won't be easy. He finds himself in a riveting contest with Ethan, a Highland Ranger with an American swagger and a silver tongue, who is confident that Beth will eventually succumb to his irresistible appeal. As the thrilling allure of pearl fishing draws the menacing glare of Gavin, a hard-nosed Glaswegian mobster, Ritchie's involvement at the conservation centre compels him to reevaluate his true intentions. To protect the Highlands from an impending ecological catastrophe and secure Beth's affection, Ritchie must navigate treacherous waters, risking both life and limb in this spirited romantic comedy.
