On the other side of the world, in the silent depths of the ocean, lies the Mariana Trench, where the Megalodon has spawned since the dawn of time. Paleobiologist Jonas Taylor once dared to enter this perilous cavern. He alone faced a Megalodon shark and cut its heart out. Now, as the body count rises and the horror of a monster's attack grips the California coast, Jonas must begin the hunt again and face his deepest fears—all in order to save his job, his family, and himself.

Osmnáct let uplynulo od chvíle, kdy Anděla, žraločí samice druhu Megalodon, uprchla z Tanakovy laguny a vrátila se do Marianského příkopu. Dobrodruh Jonas Taylor se mezitím stal mužem středního věku a otcem dvou dětí, zavaleným horou účtů a každodenními starostmi o rodinu. Ale v jeho životě se chystá změna. Jeden hollywoodský televizní producent chce, aby se Jonas objevil v jeho novém dobrodružném seriálu Odvážlivci.

Jonas potřebuje peníze, a práce mu připadá docela snadná: jeho úkolem je doplňovat barvitý komentář pro televizní show. Avšak za scénou je kdosi jiný, kdo tahá za nitky. A než všechno skončí, Jonas, Terry a Mac se opět ocitnou tváří v tvář nejnebezpečnějšímu tvoru, jaký kdy na zemi existoval.
