The North Water Now a major BBC TV series starring Colin Farrell, Jack O'Connell and Stephen Graham

In 1859 former British Army surgeon Patrick Sumner joins the crew of the whaling ship „Volunteer“ going north. He is not expecting anything extraordinary to happen on their voyage. It´s a small group of men and boys, crammed together aboard the vessel, rough and tough guys, doing their hard work in the cold and wet world of the Arctic. Then one of the cabin boys is being killed and Sumner starts to investigate the case. „The North Water“ is the dark side of „Moby Dick“ - a violent and sinister masterpiece of fiction. Breathtaking!
