When Jim's big brother Jack is released from prison, the brothers - along with their broken father and Jack's menacing best friend - charter an ocean fishing boat to celebrate Jack's new freedom.
Once the small crew is out to sea, however, a mutant species rises from the deep abyssal darkness to terrorize the vessel and its occupants.
