Still, no one is prepared for the hell that is the ship's routine. In that mix of boat and factory, on the high seas, workers have no rights and are at the mercy of brutal exploitation and violence from the fishing conglomerate's foremen. Some die from malnutrition, others from mistreatment. The workers then discover that, if they don't want to work themselves to death, they will have to resist and fight for their lives.
