Chen Feng, an ocean-going sailor, desperately risks his life in a Category 12 typhoon to save an eight-million-yuan haul of fish to pay for his daughter's life-saving surgery. However, his boss, Lin Yao, withholds his wages and has him blacklisted throughout the industry. With nowhere else to turn, Chen Feng and his exploited veteran crewmates pool their money to buy a decommissioned icebreaking tugboat. Drawing on his profound knowledge of the ocean and hardcore mechanical expertise, he snatches valuable catches from the jaws of danger in extreme waters. His liquid-nitrogen flash-freezing technology breaks the industry's monopoly and blockade. Ultimately, he crushes Lin Yao's business empire, establishes an ocean-going cooperative, and leads fishermen onto a new path to prosperity through hard work.
