The premise

James Murphey is a rugged cryptozoologist, who thirty years earlier, during a trip to Loch Ness, Scotland, had a fatal encounter with the fabled "Nessie" creature that killed his father, and left James with deep facial scar. Twenty years later, James is hunting for Nessie, when his search leads him to the sleepy town of Pike Island, Ashburn, on Lake Superior. Hiring Josh Riley as his guide, James and Josh bond over their mutual scientific interests and deceased fathers, while James tries to convince Josh's mother, Sheriff Karen Riley, that the 60-foot plesiosaur is killing and breeding.

Horror Vault's take

A scarred cryptozoologist with a personal vendetta tracks the legendary Loch Ness Monster to the shores of Lake Superior, where a quiet lakeside community has no idea what lurks beneath the water. Teaming up with a local guide who shares an unexpected connection with him, the hunter must convince a skeptical sheriff that something ancient and enormous is on the prowl. Part monster-movie spectacle, part character-driven survival story, this TV creature feature leans into its pulpy roots with gusto.
