The 9th Continent

Synopsis

A fisherman sets out into the trash-filled waters, hoping to catch fish, but hauling nothing but garbage. . Suddenly, he spots a school of fish darting in a single direction. He follows them, discovering a massive island of waste, where countless fish are trapped. Desperate, he pulls them from the filth, casting his net among the wreckage. But as he turns back, his heart sinks—his boat is now ensnared in the ever-growing sea of debris. The island isn’t just expanding; it’s swallowing everything in its path.
