100% takes place on a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea. There are scenes on deck, below deck in several cabins, and in the dark sublevel of the ship.
A handheld camera shows Russian fisherman pulling a lifeboat from "the Phoenix" out of the Bering Sea. Inside is a creature that attacks the crew, cutting the feed.

The crew of the Phoenix sets out on its final catch of the season. Also on board is a film crew, lead by the producer AMANDA (40s), who interviews greenhorn SAM PARKER (20s) and decides to add him to the roster. DENNY (40s) tells his older brother, the ship’s Captain ERIK (40s), that the film crew was the only way to save the business and that a big haul is the only hope they have of keeping the boat.

The crew sets sail but is immediately met with little success, bringing in meager pots. Erik decides to go into waters that are reportedly haunted, a place called the Dreadnaught. The crew is spooked but when they start to fish the yield is enormous, and they pull in tons of crab. However, one of the crew members, QUASHA (20s), pulls up a massive pod covered in black spines. Soon he show signs of some kind of illness, making him vomit black bile which he gets on fellow crewmember SID (50s)....
