Dawn breaks over the harbour town of Padstow as local fisherman Johnny Murt sets out to sea in search of a prized lobster catch. He battles shifting tides, unpredictable weather, and mounting pressures on the fishing industry—his daily haul determines his livelihood. Across the Camel Estuary in Rock, stress builds at the boatyard as Easter approaches, with the team racing to return over 20 boats to their moorings on time. Meanwhile, the historic Trewithen estate readies itself for spring and summer visitors, while on the wild, windswept edge of Bodmin Moor, thousands of starlings gather in the sky overhead.
