The old ditch at the ferry crossing is filled and blocked, and water level anomalies affect the livelihoods of boat owners and merchants along the bank. Facing heavy rainfall warnings, boat owner Xu Lan insists on making decisions according to rules and double-checking at two points, preferring to suspend navigation rather than gamble with human lives or trade household risks for business.

Amid the tug-of-war between floods and livelihoods, everyone follows the rules and leaves solid evidence, probing the truth step by step and guarding their respective responsibilities.
