Summary

In San Francisco, cubicle-caged accountant and single mom, Chris Janson, thought she had under control the pain from the loss of her fisher mother who was tragically washed to sea. The emotional wound resurfaces as her rebellious teen daughter, Lucie, turns out to be a chip off the old block of grandma. Nevertheless, Chris is determined to remain neutral on the topic. That is until a death in the family calls them home for a last summer season to grieve and – ultimately – decide the fate of the debt-strapped salmon boat they’ve inherited. In a close-knit NorCal coast community taking matters into their own hands to save what’s left of their eco-friendly fishing tradition, sparks fly as Chris and Lucie do the tough healing work they can no longer avoid. But even as mother and daughter wake up to a simpler more honest way to live, what happens when summer ends? They face an impossible choice – risk future security or lose all they love. Catch of the Day is a powerfully moving drama about the danger of turning a deaf ear to the siren call of your own soul for a someday payoff… only to spend a lifetime waiting to really live.
