On Aquatica, a remote former submarine refueling facility, a team of scientists are searching for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Susan McAlester , violates a code of ethics , and genetically engineers three Mako sharks to increase their brain capacity so their brain tissue can be harvested as a cure for Alzheimer's. The increased brain capacity makes the sharks smarter,... faster, and more dangerous. Aquatica's financial backers become skeptical about the tests and send a corporate executive to visit the facility. To prove that the research is working, the team manage to remove brain tissue from the largest shark. The shark attacks and injures Jim, and as he is put into a helicopter to be flown to land, the helicopter crashes as the sharks attack it, killing Brenda.
