Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Release 5 References 6 External links Plot Shark conservationist Misty Calhoun is invited to visit the sea - based facility Akhelios by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant. She and neurobiology students Leslie and Daniel Kim are taken to the facility by Durant 's associate Craig Burns on a motorboat. When they arrive, they meet Durant, as well as the facility 's crew, which include shark trainers Trent Slater, Mike Shutello, and Josh Hooper, and computer technician Aaron Ellroy. As a demonstration, Durant throws Aaron into the water, letting the sharks chase him, although uses a key to drive them away in formation. Durant then explains that he 's been genetically altering the brains of five bull sharks to make them smarter, which enrages Misty. The group later meets in the wet lab, where Durant explains to Misty that the reason he invited her is because the alpha shark, Bella, has been acting strangely, to which Misty concludes is because she is pregnant. Durant is confused by this as her pregnancy did not come up on any tests they ran on her, although Misty theorizes that their genetic alterations hid this. Durant then brings Bella into the wet lab, and has Josh take samples of her saliva, although Bella attempts to bite his arm off ; he narrowly avoids this. Meanwhile, on the surface, another shark pushes the motorboat into an electric control box, causing it to explode, and creating significant damage on the surface. The sharks then begin flooding the facility and Craig is eaten while the others remain in the wet lab. Misty then realizes that Bella went into labor after being dropped back into the pool, and has given birth to a series of shark pups. Mike attempts to swim to the surface, although one of the sharks knocks him unconscious ; Trent rescues him and Misty manages to revive him, although as he leans over the pool to taunt the sharks, one of them decapitates him. As a result of a lack of pressure stabilization in the room, the water from the pool pours in, and the group becomes separated ; Leslie is knocked unconscious in the flooding, Durant, and Daniel both end up alone, and Misty, and Trent, and Aaron, and Josh become stranded together. Trent reveals to Misty that Durant has been doing the same experiments on himself using a genetics - altering liquid in order to make himself more intelligent, due to his fear that technology will one day take over the world. Durant reunites with Misty and Trent soon after, and they make their way to an air ventilation shaft that will lead to the surface. Aaron and Josh arrive in one of the sleeping quarters, although the shark pups find them, and eat Josh while Aaron escapes on a mattress. Misty, Trent, and Durant arrive at the shaft, although Durant locks her out of the room after she attempts to find other survivors, which enrages Trent. The two then manage to reach the surface. Meanwhile, Daniel finds Leslie behind a door, although the shark pups eat her in front of him. He is soon found by Aaron, who was attacked by the pups, and lost the mattress, and they attempt to find a way to the surface. Misty, meanwhile, uses a blow torch to get inside the room with the ventilation shaft, and is met by Aaron and Daniel. The shark pups then find them, and Misty distracts them while Aaron, and Daniel begin climbing to the surface. The water rises as they climb to the surface, which allows the pups to reach Daniel, and tear him in half while Aaron reaches the surface. Meanwhile, Misty, using scuba gear she found in Trent 's quarters, manages to swim to the surface, and reunite with the others. Realizing that the facility is sinking, and they can not stay any longer, the group makes a break for the motorboat. Aaron is dragged underwater by one of the sharks while Durant is confronted by Bella, and seemingly scares her away. However, moments later, Bella jumps up, and eats him while Misty, and Trent reach the motorboat, and use two flare guns to kill one of the sharks. Aaron then jumps onto the boat, explaining that he escaped one of the sharks. Misty tells Trent that they can not let the sharks roam in the open ocean, and Trent blows up the facility with a self - destruct button. Misty, Trent, and Aaron then escape on the motorboat, although it is soon revealed that Bella and her pups survived the explosion and are now free in the open ocean.
