In present day, the deep sea minerals are heavily fought over in an undersea clandestine war that involves the Chinese and eco-extremist Rainbow Pristine. The Chinese defend their miner claims as they swat entire fleets form sea by weaponizing nature.Floating above the undersea conflict, Luke simply wants to troll his jigs and fill the Wander Lust with albacore tuna. Luke is sucked into a whirlwind of battling nations while his past and present lovers stand at the helm of opposing ships and submarines.
