In the quiet suburbs of a sun-drenched Californian coastal town, an unassuming aquatics shop owner, Arthur Freeze, lives a life of monotonous solitude.

When a mysterious drifter named Lena, carrying a tank of rare bio-luminescent fish, stumbles into his store, Arthur's life takes a dramatic turn. Underneath her charming exterior, Lena harbors a dangerous secret: the fish she carries are illegal, harvested from a protected coral reef, and sought after by a violent underground smuggling syndicate. Sensing Arthur's isolated and pliable nature, Lena enlists him to keep the fish hidden, promising him a cut of the profitss91.cn.
