Harry Coulbeck is an angry young man, a maverick, a fighter and a dreamer struggling to come to terms with life in a decade of unprecedented change. This is Harry's saga, it is the story of his family and his close friends, it tells of their hopes and hardships, of their loves, their loyalties and their losses. It is a story played out on the trawlers, in the pubs, the cafes and the dancehalls of the world's greatest fishing port. It is 1964 and Britain stands on the threshold of a new technological era, but in the dockyards and on the distant water trawlers of Grimsby, life is still hard and the men and women who work there, harder still.
