For generations, drugs have plagued the fishermen on Malaysia's east coast. This seemingly idyllic part of the world has a dark side of drug addiction, with 70% of the country’s fishermen being drug abusers. Funerals for young people are becoming far too common, and serious questions need to be asked. Is it the fishing culture, men making bad choices, or are there more sinister forces at play? Where are the drugs coming from? And will the authorities succeed in controlling the terrifying drug problem?  This investigation leads us from small-time pushers to drug lords, addicts and their families, and to those on the ground, trying to fight the war against it.
