Boat Story
A split-second choice that could change their lives forever
When two hard up strangers , Janet & Samuel , stumble across a haul of cocaine on a shipwrecked boat , they can ’ t believe their luck . But it soon proves a poisoned chalice when they find themselves entangled with the police , masked hitmen , and a sharply-suited French mobster known only as ‘ The Tailor ’.
Boat Story twists and turns with character-driven , surprising storytelling , hilarious and moving in equal turns . Off-beat humour juxtaposes with high-octane action sequences , on the beautiful but bleak Yorkshire coastline . It ’ s a series driven by unexpected storytelling and enigmatic characters , but at its heart , Boat Story is about two very ordinary people whom the world has turned its back on . It ’ s about whether they ’ re willing , or desperate enough , to do something crazy , to get what they want in life .
Pushed to the very edge , will they be able to play this very dangerous game and come out alive on the other side ?
