Our take
An indie disaster thriller about a family trapped in rising floodwaters with sharks after a massive storm. Dialogue includes holy s-word, whiskey and beer references and shark-attack tension. Expect creature peril and storm destruction; graphic gore is limited. Best for 13+.
Uplifting themes
Family and locals cooperate to survive the storm together Parents and neighbors work to protect children during the crisis
Story (may spoil tone)
A small and touristy beachside town is hit by a storm the size of which nobody could have predicted. A family who just arrived tries to escape, but gets stuck in the quickly rising waters. They try to figure a way out with the help of some locals, but any progress is shut down when the sharks make their way onto the flooded streets. The family and locals must now find a way to survive as the waters rise.
