The Great North

Set in Alaska, The Great North follows Beef Tobin and his funny, stubborn clan as they cope with life on a weathered fishing boat and in a small town. Beef does his best to keep everyone close while the kids chase their own eccentric goals. Judy dreams big with her art, drawn to the glitter of the local mall rather than the family dock. Moon, Wolf, and Ham bring their own mischief and affection to every misadventure.

Laughter often comes from the small things no one plans.
