The seas around the southern tip of Britain are some of the most unpredictable in the world, and its in these waters that two of Britain's  fishing fleets are locked in battle. The Atlantic winter is when fish prices reach their peak, a time when the skippers and their crews could make a killing. But working in storms reaching force 10 it's also a time when they risk paying the ultimate price. With only the search and rescue squadrons of the Royal Navy to protect them, the fleets are in a fight to catch the most fish. A fight to stay out in the worst weather. And when disaster strikes, a fight to stay alive.
