The film follows “a group of friends on vacation in a seeming island paradise who are stalked by an unrelenting great white after an accident leaves them stranded and left for dead.” Here’s the official synopsis: Justin Lee ( Apache Junction) wrote and directed Maneater, which stars Shane West ( Gotham), Nicky Whelan ( From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series), and country music star Trace Adkins ( The Lincoln Lawyer).
