A tongue-in-cheek creature-feature that blends horror and comedy around a real 2003 alligator incident, balancing genuine threat with irreverent humor.

In 2003, Lake Jesup became the stage for a real-life horror story, as a monstrous alligator escaped from captivity and began a reign of terror. As the body count rose, a desperate hunt ensued to stop the creature.
