In the cold waters of the Atlantic, a vengeful orca, driven by a desire for justice and fueled by the memory of its slaughtered mate and unborn calf, sets out to confront the humans responsible for its grief. As the body count rises, a marine biologist and a seasoned fisherman join forces to stop the whale's reign of terror, but their efforts may be too little, too late.
