The year is 1995, just about twenty years from when the town of Amity suffered at the jaws of a monstrous Great White Shark that claimed the lives of 7 people. Now, with the town's economy finally booming again, Chief of Police Shawn McKenzie and his team, Officers Frank Mansfield and Brad Harrington, are hoping for a solid summer.
Unknown to them, a terror is lurking out in their waters and is looking to make itself at home. When one of the local town drunks goes missing, it kicks off a series of disappearances, which leads the police to think the worst. As they scramble to try and find these people, the beast continues to take lives, and with the arrival of nearly 4 ferries worth of people impending, they will stop at nothing to find whoever, or whatever, is behind it all.
Focusing more on suspense and sheer terror, Jaws From the Deep (ignoring all previous sequels) acts a straight direct sequel to the '75 masterpiece and looks to usher in a new generation of terror.
