Red-haired youth Shen Yan has been regarded as an omen of bad luck since childhood. Whenever the river overflows, villagers blame the disaster on him. Faced with a once-in-a-century flood crest, village elders insist on offering a human sacrifice to appease the river. Shen Yan, however, notices unusual fish behavior and odd water currents, discovering that the deluge is not due to the river god's wrath, but because the ancient dam was secretly blocked. To save his adoptive mother and the whole village, he risks his life braving the raging torrents to open the long-sealed floodgate. The once-cast-out youth relies on his bravery and wit to become the water master who protects the people of both banks.
