So are you up for a wee business venture?
A heavily-indebted Scottish trawler calls into port - the ship鈥檚 mate intent on filling the coffers by smuggling cigarettes. Only there are no cigarettes; this time there is only twenty Chinese would-be immigrants鈥�
Fearing the loss of their livelihood, the men are driven to do desperate things. But the cost of human trafficking upsets the scales and there is always a price to pay. In True North two worlds collide with tragic consequences.
