An inspirational and compelling story of survival against the savagery of nature, and life as the underdog.
'Skiff' Beaman is a boy with incredible determination in the face of adversity. Since his mother's death, his father has sunk into an alcoholic depression, and now Skiff's pride and joy, their boat the Mary Rose, has also sunk. To fix it Skiff needs to raise $5000 - by going out alone into the open ocean on a dangerous mission to harpoon a prize giant tuna.
