The film is set near the lake in the small town of Cultus, which is currently experiencing an economic crisis. Sheriff Patrick James is notified that an animal carcass has been found on the bank. Mutilated bodies are later discovered. It turns out that mutant fish live in the lake, which have multiplied extremely through human growth hormones and can even reach the size of a whale. These snakeheads attack animals and people - even on land.
James asks the authorities for help, with support from the biologist Lori Dale.
