A high-energy, irreverent comedy about a college student swept into a chaotic diving club, built on absurdist humor, camaraderie, and the messy joy of unexpected friendships.

Iori’s only dream is to go to college on a remote island—but when he gets roped into the school’s debaucherous, alcohol-indulgent diving club his hope for a sparkling campus life is thrown into chaos.
