This is a story about an old man who's days fishing on his beloved river are coming to a close. Before his time is up, he has one last expedition he must do alone. He departs on his grand adventure, leaving his grandson behind on the river's bank. His mind is set on one thing: capturing the elusive "Big Blue," a legendary catfish who is rumored to dwell in a deep hole known as The Crater. The old man hopes to bring the prized fish home and celebrate its capture with his grandson. Although his mind is sharp, his body is frail. Can his stern will outlast the ravages of age? Will he bring home his dream in a net, or return with a simple fish tale?
