Plot Summary

Brady, Claire, Duncan, Kit, Annabelle, Sunny, Foster, and Hubs, along with their dog Princess, decide to spend their spring break at an isolated lake in Southern California. While exploring the area, they stumble upon a crocodile nest and accidentally damage it. Unbeknownst to them, this act awakens the fury of a massive crocodile, known to the locals as "Flat Dog"—a terrifying beast that has long haunted the region.

That night, strange occurrences begin. One of their friends mysteriously disappears, and by morning, they discover his mutilated body covered in gruesome bite marks. Panicked and confused, they attempt to flee, only to find their boat destroyed. Now stranded in the wilderness, they are relentlessly hunted by a ruthless, intelligent, and bloodthirsty predator.

One by one, they fall victim to the monstrous crocodile. Their desperate attempts to escape become increasingly futile as they realize that Flat Dog is not just a wild animal but a cunning killer. As they fight for survival, they uncover the chilling truth that the legend of Flat Dog is more than just folklore—the beast has been around for decades, and no one who has tried to kill it has ever lived to tell the tale.

Brady, Claire, and Kit are the last survivors. With no other options, they decide to confront the creature head-on, setting traps and using fire along with any available tools to fight back. However, Flat Dog proves too strong and intelligent, rendering their efforts useless. In the ultimate showdown, Brady and Claire must use their last resort to defeat the crocodile, but will they truly escape its terror?
