Blackstone Bay welcomes a 10-billion-yuan seaside resort project, with compensation of 4.21 million yuan per household. Village Chief Gao Quanhai incites the whole village to refuse signing, boasting that they can negotiate up to 5 million or even 6 million yuan. Seeing through the coastal erosion and relocation risks, Cheng Zhou defies everyone's opinion to sign for his own family, only to be called spineless, kicked out of the group chat, have his fishing nets cut, and his water and electricity cut off. Half a year later, the project is rerouted to Crescent Bay, leaving Blackstone Bay with zero compensation, while the villagers are stuck with high-interest loans, unfinished buildings, and deposits down the drain. Gao Quanhai comes to the city begging Cheng Zhou to wrap things up, and Cheng Zhou simply asks: how about we first settle the account of the dirt slung back then? Why on earth should I help?
