Synopsis

Its placid waters complement the pristine Maine wilderness it borders. This tranquil setting is probably the last place you’d expect a gruesome fatality. But then it’s also the last place you’d expect to find a 30-foot, narrow-snouted, multi-toothed, reptilian of the species Crocodylus. An eating machine more commonly known as a crocodile. The thick-skinned interloper and its appetite for humans brings together a group of people perhaps even stranger than the phenomenon they’ve been called upon to investigate. Smarting from a recently botched office romance, an emotionally fragile, nature-phobic paleontologist, Kelly Scott (Bridget Fonda), is reluctantly dispatched for her first real field assignment.
