Spoilers ahead

During spring break at Seagull Beach in Florida, a feeding frenzy of tiger sharks turns the ocean into a menacing threat, forcing the action onto the sand where the only safe place is up on the beach, far from the water. As the menace grows, a tight-knit group of teens must band together and outsmart nature’s apex predator to stay alive.

Danielle is a teenage girl who travels to Florida for spring break against her father’s wishes. Rather than admitting the truth, she tells her parents she’ll spend the time volunteering with Habitat For Humanity, but she hooks up with two girlfriends who have rented a beach house at Seagull Beach for a week, intent on having a wild, carefree getaway.
