Rakesh und Ganesh stehen sich so nahe, sie sind wie Brüder. Sie sind beide Fischer der indigenen Koli-Gemeinschaft in Mumbai, doch sie haben unterschiedliche Wege eingeschlagen. Rakesh, der frischgebackene, stolze Vater, fischt mit dem alten Boot der Familie auf traditionelle Weise in den Untiefen der Bucht und holt den Fang mit der Hand ein, genau wie sein Vater es einst tat. Ganesh hingegen fährt mit dem Motorboot in tiefere Gewässer und setzt moderne – und manchmal illegale – Technik ein. Doch die Fischbestände gehen aufgrund von Umweltverschmutzung und invasiven Arten zurück. Rakesh und Ganesh müssen darum kämpfen, ihre jungen Familien über die Runden zu bringen, während ihre Brüderlichkeit auf die Probe gestellt wird.
