Simon Garden (Steve Coogan), a useless parole officer, is so incompetent and unpopular that he soon finds himself transferred from Blackpool to Manchester by his colleagues. This is only the beginning of Garden’s troubles, after inadvertently witnessing the murder of an accountant he is framed for the crime by corrupt policeman D.I. Burton (Stephen Dillane).

Frustrated by the huge hauls of the Hannah Boden, captained by Linda Greenlaw (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), Tyne decides to head back out to sea for the Flemish Cap, a remote area renowned for its rich fishing prospects.

Sure enough, Tyne's luck changes for the better at the Flemish Cap and the Andrea Gail catches a full haul.
