Plot Summary

Ellen Brody, still traumatized by the shark attacks that killed her husband and son, believes a great white shark is seeking revenge on her family. This time, the shark seems to be following her to the Bahamas, where her youngest son is a marine biologist. She must convince her family of the impending danger and find a way to stop the shark before it claims another victim.
