At its core, Boat Story is a heart-pounding action thriller centred on two everyday individuals who feel abandoned by the world, forcing them to consider just how far they’re willing to go, even if it means embracing the extraordinary, to attain their desires.
Pushed to their limits, can they place their trust in each other and evade both danger and the allure of wealth with their lives intact?
Boat Story airs on BBC One and iPlayer from 19 November.
