Fari (13) is afraid of deep water. He admires his older brother Danford (17), who goes fishing with their father every day to provide for the family. When their father falls ill, Fari must take his place on the boat. Fearing they will come home empty-handed, Danford steers the boat further and further out to sea. Alone on the open waters, the boys get caught up in an increasingly dangerous masquerade of masculinity.
