Captain Sig Hansen is determined to catch enough crab to put him over the top and secure his place as the top-earning captain of the season. However, his plans are thrown into disarray when the boat's hydraulic system fails, leaving them stranded out on the open sea.
Meanwhile, on the Saga, Captain Elliott Neese is also feeling the pressure to bring in a big haul.
