Specialists gather at a top-secret facility to explore a series of strange deaths on beaches over the Atlantic Ocean. One of the team's boffins assesses video proof to uncover a possible explanation for the deaths.

Could she convince her colleagues of this genuine threat before an early force climbs from the ocean to attract madness and death?
