The plan is thwarted by frenzied man-eating tiger sharks who have been attracted to the wreck by the dead bodies. Set in the Caribbean, Deep Fear is an intense and visceral survival thriller with furious action throughout.

In a tense and deadly undersea attack, Naomi must use her wits and determination to survive.
