This is a story of survival and an ode to the outdoors. Reminiscent of The Perfect Storm and Into the Wild, Dead Reckoning, Navigating a Life on the Last Frontier, Courting Tragedy on its High Seas, is not only an intimate look at life in Alaska's fishing industry, but also an insider's view into one of Alaska's small communities and the myriad of upstarts, dropouts, and rogues that color its landscape.
