Meet Luke and Landon, two rookies determined to succeed in the most dangerous job in the world: crab fishing on the Bering Sea. Luke has never finished anything he's started and Landon, he's only 10 days sober.
Landon may have cost Wild Bill $50,000. Luke is a dead man walking, struggling to work through the pain. Now both greenhorns are put to the ultimate test - a good ol' fashioned gear race.
The worst storm of the season hits like a bomb, but for Luke it isn't the massive swell and the howling winds that get him. Instead he's taken out by a stinging jellyfish to the eye.
Fearing for his job, Landon confesses his injury to Captain Wild Bill. Luke is forced to take on more responsibility or lose his spot for the next season.
Inspired by his spiritual guide Nick, Landon makes the call to go to rehab - but not before his nipple is nearly torn off. Luke gets one last chance but he'll have to succeed at one of the hardest, most dangerous jobs on the boat.
