Four years ago, an accident chasing the swordfish took away the life of Captain FU’s elder son. It was the last time the giant swordfish was seen. With no fish to catch, his other son YEE thinks about transforming the business.

When their boat Victory is about to be abandoned, Fu meets a foreign BOY who tells him that the fish is still out there.

Can’t resist the temptation, Captain Fu brings Yee and The Boy, embarking on a journey to search for the giant swordfish.

The Boy’s appearance breaks the father and son’s fragile balance. He is a natural harpooner with a keen eye. His killer instinct urges him to reveal a lost past with a vague picture of death washing ashore. On their journey, The Boy encounters migrant workers, which triggers his memory as a wartime refugee. He recalls his dead mother’s words: “Never trust the people on the shore”. Meanwhile, The Boy becomes the token used by both Fu and Yee for their own gains.

The obsessions that bring men to the sea eventually become their doom. Only one of them shall return.
