Trying to overcome the sadness of his mother's death and his father's melancholy and inattention, Skiff Beaman sets out to sea in a small wooden boat to catch a giant fish with a harpoon made by his Dad, hoping to earn enough money to repair the family boat. Landing a giant tuna in open water, Skiff, like Hemingway's Old Man, fights the forces of nature and must find the strength to catch the record-breaking fish.
