Legend has long spoken of the prehistoric monsters that silently glide through the waters surrounding Long Island in the Bahamas. Locals know that some areas are better left unexplored – Dean’s Blue Hole being one of them. Blue holes are found throughout the world and the number is growing. These expansive underwater caves call to divers, but remain largely unexplored. Cursed with a strange name and dying marriage, Tyde Gregory, plans a last ditch effort to save his relationship. Diving at Dean’s Blue Hole on Long Island seems to be the only thing Tyde and his wife, Wendy, can agree upon. As hope turns to horror, Tyde realizes that there are things far worse than a broken marriage.

Jedes Jahr im Sommer werden die Bewohner von Sunset Island von einer gottlosen Seuche heimgesucht – Touristen. Ray Weller, den meisten nur als ›Der Kapitän‹ bekannt, bringt mit seiner Fähre diejenigen auf seine geliebte Insel, die er am meisten verachtet. Ray verabscheut die Touristen, verabscheut seinen Job und seinen Spitznamen. Aber bald muss er feststellen, dass Sunset Island durch etwas viel Schlimmeres als Touristen bedroht wird. Etwas ruht unter der Insel, etwas altes und längst vergessenes. Etwas, dass niemals hätte geweckt werden sollen. Als ein Wirbelsturm Sunset Island vom Festland abschneidet, sind die Einwohner und Touristen gleichermaßen auf der Insel gefangen. Und zu genau jener Zeit steigt etwas aus der Tiefe empor, vor dem sogar die Haie weit ins offene Meer flüchten. Jetzt muss Ray einen Weg finden, seine geliebte Insel zu retten – und vielleicht sogar ein paar von den Touristen, die er so hasst.

The creature, starving from its long hibernation, swims towards Sunset. Now Ray must find a way to save the island he loves and maybe even a few of the people he hates.
