A creature-feature action-horror film built around survival against prehistoric sharks unleashed by natural disaster, prioritizing spectacle and threat over character depth.

An underwater earthquake generates a tsunami that strikes Malibu, bringing a hunting pack of prehistoric-looking goblin sharks to the surface. Although the beach is evacuated before the big wave strikes, a group of lifeguards and a crew of construction workers are stranded in the high water and have to fight the sharks to get to dry land.
