Raisa, Sayani Gupta, is part of a college swim team that turns to anabolic steroids to boost performance. During a day trip to a nearby lake, a few teammates pick up leeches, and the creatures feed on the steroids in their blood. The leeches are flushed down a shower drain, where they grow to terrifying sizes and return for more feeding. As several team members and a college administrator die, the remaining swimmers and their girlfriend Mariam Sherin Bhatt devise a plan to wipe out the leech threat. They intend to lure the monstrous leeches to the campus swimming pool, using one swimmer as bait, and then electrify the pool to fry them.
