Terror can come at any time, even during a routine day's work.

Crane operator Mark Coles is hard at work near the pristine lake of Lough Ree, when something evil escapes into the water.  A large greenish-black singular body, roughly the size of a dead cow’s hide; a hideous mutation.  

After he witnesses it kill, he knows he must act fast: It's May, and tourist season has just begun. 

Meanwhile, unaware of the deadly danger he is in, and driven by grief at the loss of his wife of sixty years, eighty-three year old Marcus Fee is on the lake, intent on committing suicide. Until the sight of a burning cruiser stops him...
