The premise

Something or someone is attacking people one by one on the beach. Some of them are mutilated, but most of them are sucked into the sand, disappearing without a trace. What is the creature responsible? Where does it live, and where did it come from? And is there any chance of it reproducing? Meanwhile, David Huffman and Mariana Hill are once-almost-married old friends, reunited over the death of her mother on the beach, and searching for clues in the abandoned buildings where they used to play when they were young.

Horror Vault's take

A Southern California beach becomes a killing ground as sunbathers begin vanishing without a trace — dragged beneath the sand by something no one can see or explain. Local authorities scramble for answers while body counts rise and panic spreads along the shoreline. Two old flames are drawn back together by tragedy, digging into the mystery as the threat lurks just underfoot. This late-night creature feature trades on dread and the deeply unsettling idea that the ground itself cannot be trusted.
