Red Water

A small oil rig sits on a winding river in Louisiana, a remote industrial outpost in the bayou. The site is surrounded by rural waterways and the local community, who hold beliefs about the river and its creatures. The bull shark that terrorizes the area is seen by locals as a spirit guarding the well, adding a mythic danger to an already perilous work environment.

🌊 Nature

The river and its dangerous inhabitants drive the plot, with the bull shark terrorizing the area as a symbol of nature’s unpredictability. The environment around the oil rig becomes a character itself, shaping the characters’ choices and fates. Local beliefs about the shark as a spirit add a mystical layer to the survival struggle.

💰 Greed

A $10,000 reward and the loot drive the antagonists’ plans and spur betrayals. The criminals’ pursuit of money puts John, Kelly, and Emery in constant danger and forces hard, quick decisions. The lure of profit ultimately eclipses caution, triggering lethal confrontations.

🧭 Survival

John, Emery, and Kelly must rely on wits and teamwork to escape the thugs and survive the shark’s onslaught. The plan to lure and kill the creature becomes a test of courage, improvisation, and mutual trust. In the end, restraint and prudence trump greed as they decide to let the final threat lie.
