She falls upon the kindness of strangers and it isn't long before she meets a charismatic trawlerman, who is proud to walk out with Kingdom's daughter on his arm.

With Jessica facing the reality of trawler life and desperate to prove herself worthy of a place in the tight-knit community, does she have what it takes to weather the storm of her life to come, or will her secret hold her back from embracing who she is?
