Un sommergibile oceanico, parte di un programma internazionale di osservazione sottomarina, viene attaccato da un’imponente creatura che si riteneva estinta e che ora giace sul fondo della fossa più profonda del Pacifico… e il suo equipaggio è intrappolato all’interno. Il tempo stringe, l’esperto di salvataggi subacquei Jonas Taylor viene incaricato da un visionario oceanografo cinese, contro il volere della figlia Suyin, di salvare l’equipaggio. e l’oceano stesso. da questa inarrestabile minaccia: uno squalo preistorico di quasi 23 metri conosciuto come Megalodon. Quello che nessuno avrebbe potuto immaginare era che, anni prima, Taylor si era già trovato faccia a faccia con quella terrificante creatura. E ora, in squadra con Suyin, deve affrontare le sue paure e mettere a rischio la propria vita per salvare l’equipaggio intrappolato laggiù e ritrovarsi ancora una volta di fronte al più grande predatore di tutti i tempi.
