A voyage of the Damned. The annual blessing of the fishing fleet is more than a ceremony, it provides God’s protection from the demons of the sea. But Captain John Boston has no time for God and holy sanctions.

Now the boat is sailing one last time to try and fill its holds with fish. There’s more than a mysterious fog, bad weather and empty nets waiting for them. The devil has a boat of his own and he’s out on the cold ocean, trawling for dead men and their souls.
