The secrets and passions of the human heart lie just as broad and deep as the waters of the Pacific Northwest, where forty years ago, life was simple. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, hardworking fishermen like Buddy work tirelessly to support their families. But doing so proves difficult, so under the veil of darkness, he illegally pursues the prized sockeye salmon and tells his carefree best friend Tommy, whose charismatic storytelling might just let the secret slip... Several other residents contend with their own skeletons in the closet, including the murder of a spouse, coveting another's wife, grasping onto memories of lost loves, and keeping quiet after discovering a dead body. However, darkness inevitably fades to light, and what's hidden below the surface always rises. Like dead fish that fall from nets, secrets and mysteries float like rotting ghosts, threatening to be discovered to shatter hopes, dreams, and friendships.
