Plastic particles can be found in every trace of the ocean, water is becoming the new fuel, an area the size of Texas in the Pacific is clogged with rubbish as far as the eye can see. Things are falling apart. Meanwhile, Professor Cleave, a passionate biologist, has left America to take up residency in a watery, third world city – there he intends to continue his research with the hope of radically extending human life. But before long, his daughter and his ex-wife are on his doorstep, each searching for their own life and death solutions. Meanwhile, as their existence becomes fragile, each one must face what it is they are living for.
