When Leifur Magnússon’s family fishing business becomes another casualty of Iceland’s changing fishing industry, all he has left is his boat—and the weight of his father’s legacy. Determined to honour the past while securing his future, he transforms his fishing vessel into a whale-watching tour boat, hoping the waters that once provided his livelihood might save him yet again.
Marine biologist Astrid Jonsdóttir returns to Iceland feeling like a stranger in her own homeland. After working for years in Norway, she’s caught between worlds—no longer at home in Reykjavik, yet with nowhere else to go. When an unexpected opportunity arises to guide whale-watching tours for the summer, she finds herself aboard Leifur’s converted fishing boat, navigating more than just Iceland’s spectacular coastline.
As their love of the ocean brings them together, helping them overcome the difficulties of their new lives, what begins as a summer romance suddenly becomes something more. But can love flourish when both are still searching for where they truly belong?
Join Astrid and Leifur for a summer of whale-watching, storms and cosy nights out in Reykjavik with Gudrun, Jonas and the rest of the gang!
