Storyline for The Waterfront on Netflix

They’re not doing late-night fishing on that boat; it’s carrying over $10 million worth of drugs to be picked up.

But two men with rifles hijack the boat, tossing the two men manning it into the water after knocking them out.

In Havenport, North Carolina, Cane Buckley (Jake Weary) goes to the fishery and restaurant that his family has owned for at least three generations.

When he sees his boat washed up on shore, surrounded by cops and DEA agents, he scrambles, asking a town clerk he knows to fake a title transfer to one of the missing men from the boat.

Meanwhile, Cane’s father, Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany), wakes up next to one of his girlfriends and clutches his chest, just before he goes for his morning swig of scotch.

“Call my wife, then an ambulance,” he tells the woman. When his wife, Belle (Maria Bello) arrives at the hospital, she finds out that the defibrillator that was installed in Harlan’s chest during a previous heart surgery was on the fritz.

As soon as Harlan gets the call about the abandoned boat, he leaves the hospital to find Cane.
