Real men don’t take nonsense from spoiled kids, and Disko Troop, the skipper of the fishing schooner Were Here out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, is no exception. When his crew rescues Harvey Cheyne from the Atlantic, they have no idea what they’re in for. With no time to waste, Harvey is thrust into the rigors of life at sea as he replaces a crew member lost overboard. Though he comes from wealth, Disko and his crew are skeptical of his privileged background. With Disko refusing to return to port until their nets are filled, Harvey faces a grueling season of hard work and camaraderie aboard the ship. Surrounded by a colorful cast of characters in the cramped quarters of the schooner, he undergoes a life-altering transformation. When he is finally reunited with his family, who believed him lost at sea, Harvey must confront the profound impact of his experiences and the tough choices that lie ahead.
