Wet Gold is the story of Laura, a young woman who works as a waitress in a cafe. Laura stumbles across Sampson, a drunk eldery man who fills her with exciting stories of a boat that sank with millions of dollars in gold. Although Laura's boyfriend Chris Barnes keeps telling her that Sampson's stories are all false, Sampson makes her believe that they are indeed true. Laura takes Sampson to a library, where she finds on old a newspaper article that matches up the events he described.

After becoming a true believer, Laura convinces Barnes, Sampson and a dive owner, Keating, to search for the treasure. Together they set off from Key West in the baker's boat that Barnes is supposed to be looking after. Keating shows a liking for Laura, and because of this, Barnes begins to feel uncomfortable with him. After spending some time in the water, their dreams become reality, but the discovery of gold begins to change their personalities. Tensions fill the air as passions rise in the wake of greed and jealousy for both the fortune and Laura.
