In the future, after global warming , the earth's surface will be 98% covered by water. The despot Ian Fien rules the ocean with his right hand Mason Scrimm. Together they have developed a technology that gives them power over the sharks of the planet.
When they visit one of the floating colonies and kidnap the young woman Willow there, Timor and Sion rebel against the oppressors. With a self-made submarine, he collects volunteers for a rebellion against Ian Fien.
Meanwhile, Willow discovers that Willow is equipped with a mysterious sextant that can break the power of Ian and Mason over the sharks.
