The deeper you go, the weirder life gets.

Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou has sworn vengeance upon the rare shark that devoured a member of his crew.

They travel the sea, all too often running into pirates and, perhaps more traumatically, various figures from Zissou's past, including his estranged wife, Eleanor.
