description About

Over the course of more than three decades, George and Marlene Dowdle built a thriving family business together – a series of aquaculture leases that produce world-famous PEI oysters. But when Marlene is diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, the needs of their operation take a back seat to her treatment. While at her side in the hospital, George is stunned when a concerned friend calls to report a heist in progress on one of their oyster leases. Unwilling to leave Marlene, George alerts the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and enlists an associate to gather photographic evidence of the crime, leading to the first successful prosecution of oyster theft on Prince Edward Island.
