Fifteen-year-old Lucy "the Giant" Otswego longs to escape life with her alcoholic father in Sitka, Alaska, as her mother did when she left years earlier. Chance takes her to Kodiak, where Lucy finds work on a crabbing boat with a crew that assumes she is an adult. Lucy masters the back-breaking work and feels accepted for the first time in her life. But, when her true age is exposed, Lucy learns that there are no shortcuts to growing up.
