When Captain Eddie Carroll put to sea on Labor Day weekend 1951, he didn't know how many passengers were aboard his overloaded boat. Hi didn't know that an unpredicted storm would descend from a cloudless sky before the morning was over. He didn't know how swiftly, the, his faith in his boat and his own abilities would be overturned. Dark Noon is a taut and suspenseful re-creation of a fateful day at sea. It is also a story of the postwar American dream as experienced in the fishing village of Montauk, Long Island, where fish were money and where optimism and success went hand in hand
