Nick McCallum has a dream. A dream of joining the professional surfing ranks up there with his friend and mentor Dane Sanders. Nick is a talented surfer, but is working for his father as a mechanic in the rundown family garage. There are two things blocking Nick-his father and his fear of big wave surfing. Deciding to break the shackles of his overbearing father, Nick opts for a career in professional surfing. With the love of French photographer Jeanne and the friendship of Islander Ogitani, Nick faces his ultimate challenge-to ride the big waves he most fears.
