Set in the shipbuilding community in Tyne and Wear, UK, The Last Ship
tells the story of a young man who returns home after 17 years at sea.
Tensions between past and future flare in both his family and his
town. He finds that the local shipyard, around which the community has
always revolved, is closing, and no one knows what will come next,
only that a half-built ship towers over the terraces of working-class
homes. With the engine fired and pistons in motion, picket lines are
drawn as the foreman and his wife fight to hold their community
together in the face of the gathering storm.
