A group of fishermen engaged in their vocation in the mid seas. They suddenly bump into a guy called Malan who has sneaked up into their fishing trawler with the sole intention of illegally migrating to Australia. One morning they find something mysterious floating in the seas and jointly pull it into their trawler believing that it must be a God-sent fortune. But they ultimately find it to be a sex doll. Though dejected, tthese men lose control of their emotions following the appearance of the female sex doll. The relations between these guys who used to get on so well, gradually start to deteriorate.
