Spoilers ahead

In this follow-up to the original story, local tycoon Vincent Brown Steve Railsback continues dumping a tanker full of chemicals into the sewers, a reckless act that keeps mutating a baby alligator into a colossal predator. When two Mexican fishermen are found dead, Detective David Hodges Joseph Bologna, a loner by choice, begins a stubborn investigation. A severed leg points the trail toward an alligator attack, a discovery that leads Hodges’s wife, Christine Hodges Dee Wallace, a university expert, and the coroner to connect the incidents. The town’s leaders—Mayor Anderson Bill Daily and Chief Speed Brock Peters—refuse to call off Brown’s lake party, forcing Hodges to press them for action.
