Plot summary
Oceanographer Emma MacNeil studies whale migration from a submarine she took without permission. Near Alaska, a military helicopter drops sonar transmitters that send a pod of whales into a glacier; the crash and the damage break the ice open and free two hibernating prehistoric creatures, a giant shark and a giant octopus. The octopus attacks a drilling platform off Japan. At Point Dume, California, MacNeil examines a beached whale, pulls a shark tooth from its wounds, and loses her job for taking the submarine. Her former professor, Navy pilot Lamar Sanders, identifies the tooth as a megalodon's. The Japanese scientist Seiji Shimada, investigating the platform attack, joins them, and video from MacNeil's voyage shows both creatures. Government official Allan Baxter demands their help.
