Ann Berg, in her late twenties, is an ambitious intern in the Forensic Medicine department. While investigating a crime scene she is shocked to find evidence of a crocodile attack. Judging by the unbelievably terrible damage it inflicted, it must really be a monster. The vicious beast must be in the river, but where? And when will it strike again? Ann turns to the expert Mitch \'Croc\' McDearie for help. Mitch has hunted the huge and dangerous reptiles throughout the world. Once, he was even the proud owner of a crocodile farm in the Everglades, but hard times have left him cleaning the snake cages at the local zoo. For a man used to living such an adventurous life, it\'s far from being a dream job... Mitch and Ann?s first encounter is hardly love at first sight. Now, the difficult nature of the job naturally brings them closer together. Anyway, with the search for the deadly crocodile taking top priority, there\'s very little time, if any, for romance. In the midst of their hunt, they are attacked by an enormous crocodile. Barely able to escape the vicious beast, which completely destroys Ann\'s car, the two vow to finally put an end to the reptile\'s deadly rampage. They soon discover that the wild crocodile is not their worst foe. It is instead the croc\'s owner Killiak, a disreputable and devious animal dealer who wants his valuable reptile back at all costs. When he learns that Mitch and Ann are dead-set on killing his crocodile, he sets out on his own deadly hunt. The situation takes on an even tougher dimension when Killiak kidnaps Mitch\'s daughter. His demand: the girl in exchange for his captured crocodile, or else...
