When a stash house is attacked, family man Ray Hayes — a former cop with a secret criminal past — is pulled back into the underworld to protect his crew and provide for his wife Audrey and their two kids. Five years earlier, Ray joined a crime syndicate led by the aging Michael to build a better future, swearing to uphold their code. But when Michael is murdered by the ruthless Lonny, Ray finds himself trapped in a deadly game with no way out. After being manipulated into a hit, Ray's home is attacked, and his family's true legacy is revealed — Audrey is the Butcher’s Kid, the very person Lonny has been hunting.

Zephyr, a solitary surfer with a troubled past has come to Australia’s Gold Coast to find an escape. Her peaceful existence is disrupted when she meets Moses, a local real estate agent and fellow surfer. After a romantic night with him, she flees to the ocean but is abducted by Tucker, a shark-obsessed serial killer. 

Zephyr wakes to find herself locked up with another young, terrified woman, Heather, and just hours later, Zephyr is forced to watch the girl be eaten alive by sharks, while twisted Tucker films the murder on an old camcorder. To him, this is the highest form of entertainment. Back in the cell, Zephyr faces the reality that Heather wasn’t the first, and while Tucker plans his next masterpiece, Zephyr plans her escape. 

Zephyr’s fight and attempt to save herself only amuses Tucker, who remains firmly in control, and when she’s locked up a second time she begins to lose hope. It’s not until a searching Moses intervenes, that she confronts her emotions and finds a reason to fight again. As love drives her to defy her captor, she faces a terrifying showdown aboard the ship and the sharks below, challenging the real monster: man.
