Jack's day starts with a return from a successful fishing trip, showcasing the community's proud fishermen and their rigorous routines. However, danger strikes when Jack, along with friends, goes cockling and finds their boat adrift due to rising tides. They encounter perilous waves and are nearly swept away, only to be saved in the nick of time by a coast-guard.
