Lisa travels to Mexico with her bolder younger sister Kate after Lisa's boyfriend breaks up with her for being too boring. The sisters join two men on a cage dive with great white sharks. A cable breaks, and the cage drops 47 meters to the ocean floor with their air running low. The film uses dark water, tight spaces, shark attacks, and a late hallucination twist to make a tense survival horror story.
The film centers on Lisa's fear and Kate's love of risk as the sisters try to save each other. Lisa starts the trip trying to prove that she can be more adventurous after her breakup. Their choices lead to mistakes, courage, and a painful loss. The movie treats the danger as a simple test of judgment, courage, and family loyalty.
