Synopsis
After the unexpected death of their infant, doctors Paul (C. Thomas Howell) and Kim Jordan (Anora Lyn) decide to leave America and travel to Thailand on a medical mission. While they're adapting to their new life, Paul is kidnapped and taken to an isolated island by human traffickers, who need a doctor to save their wounded leader. Kim is left to find her husband on her own, unable to prove the reason for his disappearance. Paul is imprisoned with Englishman Malcolm Andrews (John Rhys-Davies), who is being held for ransom. The two men quickly discover that their philosophies are polar opposites: Andrews is a highly spiritual man, while Paul is a strict atheist. Paul later learns that he cannot save his kidnappers' leader without modern equipment, to which he has no access. Paul and Andrews decide to plan an escape as their last hope for survival.Actors

Based on true events that occurred 1—12 July 1916 in Central and Southern New Jersey, as recounted in the book of the same name by Richard Fernicola, the film recounts the 12 days during which people along the Jersey coast were subject to attacks by a shark (in the film it is a great white shark). Initially, the authorities hesitated to take action, and the issue of sacrificing the safety of human beings for the sake of business was raised. After the second attack, modest precautions were taken, and scientific experts and civil authorities published assurances that area beaches had been made safe again. On 12 July a shark was sighted swimming into the freshwater canal of Matawan Creek—one expert who had come to capture the animal speculated that this indicated a bull shark. Children and young adults swimming upstream in the creek were attacked. After the shark was finally captured offshore, an autopsy was performed, and it is said that 15 pounds of human flesh with bones were found in its stomach. In the end, four people had been killed and a fifth badly injured. The remains of one young boy were never recovered. Because a propensity for human flesh is unnatural, scientists are still investigating why this shark did what it did.
