The show follows Gwang-seok, who is the uncle of his nephew Hee-dong. They have been struggling financially and somehow feeding their family by committing petty theft and small scams. But that isn't sustainable. That's why, when they are offered to retrieve ceramics buried deep in the sea by an antique dealer, Song, the duo accepts.
There is just the problem of funding. The duo is already struggling and cannot afford to travel to the place where the ceramics are buried, off the coast of Sinan. Chairman Chun offers to fund their trip and promises to buy everything they retrieve. However, Gwang-seok and Hee-dong aren't the only ones looking for these buried ceramics.
Many others hear of the buried ceramic and flock to retrieve some themselves. Thus, they join the duo, and all set out to find the valuable items on the same boat. Suddenly, Chun's wife, who controls his finances, stops the funding right before Gwang-seok and Hee-dong can retrieve the ceramic. The show will now tell us how the group survives when everyone has the same intentions and will do anything to get their hands on the valuables.
