For decades, the Buckley family has ruled Havenport, North Carolina's local fishing industry and restaurant scene. But their fishing empire has started to crumble as patriarch Harlan Buckley recovers from two heart attacks, leaving his wife Belle and son Cane to venture into the deep end in order to keep the family businesses afloat.

As their attempts spiral out of control, Harlan steps back in to take command. Facing her own demons, their daughter Bree - an addict in recovery who's lost custody of her son - finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship that could threaten the family's future.
