In a perfect storm of events involving an adrenalin-fueled workplace and a man's overgrown ego, bad things can happen.Terry is a hard-driving boat captain who's looking to make his fortune in one season and reverse financial and personal setbacks brought on by his lifestyle and bad choices. In pursuit of the big bucks, he puts his vessel in harm's way, resulting in a shootout that leaves his young nephew dead. After the shooting, a dogged homicide detective with the Alaskas State Troopers tracks down the culprits and does his best to deliver them to justice. Terry is forced to admit his culpability and find out who he really is in his search for redemption, helped along the way by his wife Kathy and Heimy, a crewman who becomes a friend.Based on a real event in the mid-1980s when a key navigation service went down at the height of the salmon season causing chaos on the high seas, Shootout at the North Line is not only an Alaskan adventure story but also the story of real people forced by tragedy to confront themselves.
