A creature-feature survival thriller built on the premise of an unstoppable predator in an unexpected setting, emphasizing visceral threat and paranoia over character depth.

In the quiet waters of the Mississippi, body parts are being discovered. No one knows what is behind it all, until a huge man eating bull shark turns up. This bull shark is different, as it can breath in fresh water, making a deadly encounter between anyone who comes before it. John Sanders must now try and reach the surface, with his ex-wife and whilst being held hostage.
