"For a group of friends it seemed like a dream come true: A week cruising the world's most beautiful coral reef on their own yacht. But when their boat capsizes leaving them stranded on an overturned hull, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare. Deciding to swim for land, the three friends take to the water. Suddenly, a fin surfaces and with it the realization that they are being stalked by a deadly fifteen foot white pointer shark. Will any of them make the swim or will the sea take what it wants? The Reef walks the line between horror and psychological thriller!"
