Season 1 - Episode Guide

Jón Hjaltalín, mayor of a small town in the Westfjords of Iceland, and Torfi, his brother, plan to buy an old trawler and start a fishing enterprise.

A year later, the whole country is in a state of paralysis due to a strike by fishermen. Harpa and Grímur are between a rock and a hard place and have to choose between becoming a strike breaker or drowning in debt.

The couples, together with Jón Hjaltalín, take steps to adapt the quota system to their needs. Meanwhile, the struggle for ownership of the fish continues in the municipality.

Smári, an investigative journalist from Reykjavík, is working on an article about Harpa and is looking for clues about her connection with Jón Hjaltalín.

Harpa and Grímur meet with the Prime Minister in the hope of getting an increased quota to keep the company afloat. Tinna returns to town and has her own plans. Grímur and Jón Hjaltalín appear on Hemmi Gunn's talk show.

Harpa and Grímur's marriage is up in the air. While they work on their marriage, Harpa sends Einar and Freydís around the country in search of smaller boats to buy. Smári is still with Harpa under the microscope.

The team meets to settle their differences but have a few too many drinks.

The town is in disarray after the latest events and all eyes are on Harpa. At the same time, Smári comes to the town.
