Esta es una película sobre Maicol y Bryan, dos amigos inseparables que viven en Greytown, un pequeño pueblo sobre el Caribe nicaragüense aislado del resto del país por una densa selva y un peligroso mar. El final de su infancia se acerca, este verano deben comenzar a trabajar. Pero el pueblo no les ofrece muchas opciones, cada vez hay menos pescadores de tiburones y muchos de ellos se han convertido en narcotraficantes.Maicol y Bryan deambulan explorando el mundo que los rodea buscando su propio camino. Ahí están el mar, la selva y tal vez alguna chica. Pero también hay un equipo de filmación con una cámara. Así, nace una película.
