William Dufris throws himself into this testosterone-filled account of brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand, who earn their living at one of the world's most dangerous occupations: fishing. Made somewhat famous by their appearance on the Discovery Channel series "Deadliest Catch," the Alaskan fishing boat captains survive and prosper in the cold, dangerous waters of the Bering Sea, thanks to both a seriousness of purpose and a certain insanity. This type of material could not be more suited to Dufris, and he doesn't hold back. The tone is almost noir���beating someone into a coma outside of a bar is apparently close to normal���but he also adeptly conveys the peril of ice sheets closing up around the brothers' boat.
