The story follows young Jamie McGee, who, along with his faithful dog Sammy, embarks upon his first fishing trip on his fathers boat to the stormy fishing grounds called Summerbank.
Jamie’s adventures take place within a close and colorful circle of family elders and friends who are Jamie’s teachers and mentors as he takes his first steps as a real fisherman aboard his fathers famous fishing boat, JociLynne.
