ON THE SEA
Set against the rugged coastline of North Wales, Jack (Barry 
Ward), a lifelong mussel harvester whose world is defined by 
family, tradition, and duty is married to Maggie (Liz White) and 
expecting his son Tom (Henry Lawfull) to follow in his footsteps. 
Jack’s carefully ordered life begins to unravel when Daniel (Lorne 
MacFadyen), a charismatic drifter and deckhand, arrives in the 
village and awakens long-suppressed desires. As tensions grow 
within the family and the close-knit fishing community, Jack is 
forced to confront the truths he has spent a lifetime avoiding.
