Ethan and his foreman Mace survey the land for a major fish farm project, planning three ponds and an intake system. Ethan insists the site must be ready in three months, paying Mace upfront to expedite the digging. However, trouble erupts when a man named Derek, known for withholding payments, sabotages a pond, causing hundreds of pounds of dead fish. Derek is furious and threatens the operation, but Ethan calmly instructs his team to stick to their plan and secure their buyers, preparing for the coming conflict.
