Three unemployed youths, Da Ke, Xiao Man, and Xiao Zhi, rent an apartment together and decide to save 9,000 yuan to travel to an internet-famous sea view destination. Xiao Man insists on earning money through side hustles and does not want to touch the severance pay; Da Ke feels it is better to just take the money and go; Xiao Zhi listens to both sides. They sell cookies, walk dogs, and pick up express deliveries, running into mishaps constantly. Halfway through, Xiao Man is held accountable by his former company, and the three of them check clauses together, go door-to-door to protect their rights, and force the other party to make concessions using a livestream. After the storm passes, they continue to save money, make travel strategies, and finalize the itinerary. After setting off, they experience traffic jams and night roads, and finally arrive at the seaside. The tide recedes, the sun rises, and the three stand on the beach talking about the future. The sea breeze blows, and they have finally set off.
