To save his critically ill father, fisherman Chen Dapao risks his life braving the open sea, only to be exploited and shortchanged by his unscrupulous boss, Kuang Wei. Pushed to the brink, he relies on his ancestral skills of reading the tides and tracking fish to return repeatedly with bountiful catches, stoking Kuang Wei's greed and malice. Kuang Wei schemes against him by setting traps, cutting off his diesel supply, and faking fish migration reports. Undaunted, Chen Dapao calmly overcomes every crisis and even rescues fishermen in peril. In the end, Kuang Wei reaps what he sowed, while Chen Dapao earns the life-saving money, leads fellow fishermen to establish a cooperative, and begins a brand-new life.
