Set aboard a 19th-century whaling ship, The North Water follows Patrick Sumner, a disillusioned surgeon who signs on for a brutal voyage under Captain Patrick Tierney. Hunger, cold, and escalating violence corrode the crew as Sumner confronts a dangerous moral reckoning with the man and the sea that drive him toward the edge. Haigh’s stark, atmospheric adaptation blends claustrophobic suspense with hard historical realism.
