A creature-feature horror film about genetically modified piranhas threatening a resort lake, balancing B-movie thrills with moderate tension and some self-aware humor.

Doctor Baines has been conducting genetic experiments on piranhas and has made them virtually unstoppable. Unfortunately, his assistants, Maggie and Paul, accidentally release the hybrids into the Lost River Lake threatening to destroy everyone in their path. Can they prevent the flesh-eating piranhas from escaping into the ocean and spawning?
