The story of five crew members fighting against the wind and waves in the vast ocean. Among them, the captain is a man named Billy (George Clooney). He just met a new girlfriend and urgently needs money to live a new life. However, the fishing volume in the nearby waters has been sluggish. In addition to the captain, the other four crew members now need money to maintain their personal lives. So, they decided to sail to a far-away sea area, just for the rich fish resources there. Fortune is sought in danger. Although Billy knew that there might be a storm ahead, Billy still resolutely moved forward. However, the real situation is worse than he imagined: the storm is extremely violent, and they are facing the most severe test in their career at sea. Friendship and love are getting stronger and stronger in this storm.
