Story

Hank was the fishing king of his village, and he drained his savings to set up his son Ryan's marriage. On his fiftieth birthday, a fight over a bowl of fish soup ends with him humiliated and kicked out of the house he paid for. His daughter Lena, who never got much from him, is the only one who takes him in.

Hank goes back to what he actually knows. He reads the deep water, pulls in seafood worth real money, and slowly turns the fishing village's fortunes around. Ryan's family keeps scheming and keeps losing ground, until the consequences land on them. Hank isn't chasing an apology by then; he's building a life that doesn't need one.
