The premise of Crocodile without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.

When a group of friends—Brady Turner, Claire and Duncan McKay—set out for a weekend boat trip on a Southern California lake, their carefree outing quickly becomes a nightmare.

The friends must battle the relentless predator on the water and shoreline, with each splash raising the terror, fighting to survive before the beast claims them.
