Summary

In San Francisco cubicle-caged accountant and single mom, Chris Johansen, thought she had outrun the pain from the loss of her fisher mother who was washed to sea. The emotional wound resurfaces as her teen daughter, Lucie, turns out to be a chip off the old block of grandma. Still, Chris does her best to remain neutral until a death in the family calls them home for a last summer to grieve and – ultimately – to settle the debt-strapped salmon boat they’ve inherited. In a close-knit rugged NorCal coast community taking matters into their own hands to save 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 the final curtain comes down on the salmon season? 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 suppressing the desires of the heart for a someday payoff… only to end up spending a lifetime waiting to really live.
