On a fishing trip with his girlfriend Sophia, Patrick claims he sees a 35-foot shark. He warns his friends, but they dismiss the claim, insisting there are no sharks in the Mississippi River. The tension between belief and skepticism drives the early conflict.

Shark attacks are reported on the local news, and the creature is carried through floodwaters into the streets. It preys on people, spreading chaos across New Orleans. Patrick's warning proves prophetic as fear and danger escalate.

Captain Joe, their boss, procures scuba gear and urges them to help save the city. The trio resolves to confront the aquatic menace despite the danger. Interludes show their relationships with Sophia and their bar friends.

Captain Joe arranges the necessary scuba gear and equipment for the mission, reinforcing the seriousness of the threat. Patrick and Tim steel themselves for the dangerous task ahead. The team commits to attempting a risky intervention.

Tim receives a treasure map from an old man in a bar, marking where the shark supposedly sleeps. Patrick laughs at the notion that sharks sleep, but the lead sparks a new angle to their plan. It injects a sense of mystery and strategy into the hunt.

During a pool game, Patrick and Tim devise a plan to attach a tracking device to the shark, chase it in scuba gear, and bait it with a dynamite-filled pig carcass. They weigh the risks but commit to the audacious scheme. The plan blends improvisation with high-stakes danger.

With the bait secured, they implement the tracker and prepare the explosive trap. The execution of the plan marks the transition from plotting to action. The operation takes them into unfamiliar, perilous waters.

The shark retaliates during the hunt and eats Georgie, devastating Patrick and Tim. Their friend’s death becomes a grim turning point that intensifies their mission. The tragedy hardens their resolve to finish what they started.

Tim and Patrick visit a shrine erected for Georgie on the beach and mourn their friend together. They compose a song to honor him, fortifying their bond and purpose. The moment blends grief with a renewed determination to save the city.

With the tracking device in place, they pursue the shark into the bayou and lure it into the explosive trap. The bomb detonates, and Tim is briefly believed dead before being revealed as alive, having been flung high into the air. The town of New Orleans finally knows the threat is terminated.

Tim survives, and Patrick and Tim celebrate their survival and victory. They share a moment of relief and camaraderie after their harrowing mission. The city joins in, honoring the heroes as they dance through the streets with a marching band.
