Idrissa, a local fisherman, and his community, attribute the bounty of Goderich Bay in Freetown to the blessings of Mama Wata, a revered goddess, which has brought prosperity to Sierra Leone.

In the coastal town of Freetown, local fisherman Idrissa and his neighbors rely on the blessings of Mama Wata, a goddess believed to provide the waters of Goderich Bay with an abundance of fish. Despite her protection, they face challenges from international commercial fishing boats, illegal fishing, and drug traffickers. Against the backdrop of Sierra Leone's struggles with poverty, lack of education, and unemployment, the film showcases the dignity and resilience of the community.
