A black market animal trafficker releases one of his most treasured exotic species into serene Lake Tahoe for ‘safe-keeping’ while he serves a prison sentence. However this isn’t so safe for the locals, who begin to become part of the food chain at an unbelievable rate. While everyone around her brushes the attacks off as a bear on the loose, a local sheriff sees the truth and makes it her mission to capture the bull shark with the help of a local marine expert. Meanwhile, the trafficker is released from prison and faces a very angry gangster client who wants his shark.
