In a bizarre turn of events, a surfer's ex-girlfriend is murdered and he's framed for the crime. He must team up with his former rivals to clear his name and find the real killer. Along the way, they encounter drug-addled surfers and a secret government plot. The film attempts to blend surf culture with a slasher-like horror narrative.

  • Often cited as an example of a film that should never have been made.

Fun Fact
