It's an unlikely romance between the main stars but as you
like the pair, you hope it works out for the best.
Strathairn's character is suddenly given the chance to restart
his life as a fisherman and this tests his nerve as he had
to give up the sea 20 years before when his boat foundered
and two men drowned.
Rediscovering his love of the sea in some pretty sensational
scenery, he invites the singer and daughter on a yacht trip
with his brother, who is on a visit.
The pleasant weekend sail turns to chaos when his brother,
who has double-crossed some hard drugs dealers, is murdered
and the trio escape overboard only to be pursued by the killers.
They hide, survive and then have to face being left on the
island as the harsh Alaskan winter begins to set in. There
is some nice relationship repairing done between the two women
and just as you begin to feel a rosy glow, the story comes
to an uncharacteristically quick end.
Without giving away any more of the tale it is fair to say
that the ending is a really annoying cop out. It's a shame,
because having invested a couple of hours in the characters,
viewers deserve more.
