The premise

Doctor Baines has been conducting genetic experiments on piranhas and has made them virtually unstoppable. Unfortunately, his assistants, Maggie and Paul, accidentally release the hybrids into the Lost River Lake threatening to destroy everyone in their path. Can they prevent the flesh-eating piranhas from escaping into the ocean and spawning?

Horror Vault's take

When a rogue scientist's classified genetic experiments go catastrophically wrong, a swarm of engineered piranhas is accidentally unleashed into the waterways of Lost River Lake. Two unlikely investigators find themselves in a desperate scramble to warn the public and contain the deadly fish before the carnage spreads beyond the lake. This made-for-TV creature feature keeps the tension bubbling as the clock ticks and the body count rises. Fans of classic monster-on-the-loose thrills will find plenty to enjoy in this aquatic nightmare.
