Jaws meets Alien at a Norwegian salmon farm in a full-blown monster movie from horror veteran Pål Øie (Dark Woods, The Tunnel).

After a jet ski accident on the Sognefjord, two teenagers vanish under mysterious circumstances. At the same time, marine biologist Johanne is sent to inspect a nearby salmon farm, where a local entrepreneur has developed a revolutionary device to combat salmon lice. But the innovation turns out to have far greater consequences for the ecosystem than anyone anticipated. Pål Øie reinvigorates the Norwegian disaster-movie tradition with a muscular monster thriller that blends claustrophobic sci-fi horror with a dash of H.P. Lovecraft, and visceral outboard motor splatter.
