Shortly after the death of her mother, the medical student and young surfer Nancy (Bake Lively) travels to a secluded beach in Baja California in search of a secret spot that her mother had discovered years earlier. While paddling out into the waves along with two other friendly locals, she is hunted by a great white shark and stranded on an embankment away from the shoreline. Alone and wounded, she attempts to survive the attack and get ashore. Still unable to come to terms with a personal tragedy, Nancy, a medical student dropout and athletic surfer, seeks solace in her late’ mother’s secret surfing spot in sun-drenched Baja California. Indeed, this is the perfect hideaway –and as Nancy rides the glorious waves, one after another – a silent and sudden attack from below throws the gravely wounded holidaymaker into the water, reminding her that this is the realm of a feared apex-predator: The slate-grey great white shark. Now atop a small rock protrusion, a mere 180 meters from the shore – it’s woman against nature, in a desperate battle of survival under the scorching sun and the cold starry sky. However, has anyone escaped from the powerful and razor-sharp jaws of the blood-thirsty leviathan?

Shortly after the death of her mother due to cancer, medical student Nancy Adams travels to a secluded beach in Mexico, the same beach her mother visited while she was pregnant with Nancy. Carlos, a friendly local resident, gives Nancy a ride and drops her off at the beach, while a friend of hers who came along with her is staying back at a hotel after partying too much. Nancy joins two other locals and the three surf for several hours. Taking a break from surfing, Nancy video-chats with her younger sister Chloe. When she talks to her father in an emotional and strained conversation, it is revealed that mother’s death caused Nancy to consider dropping out of medical school. While surfing one last time for the day, Nancy notices a carcass of a large Humpback Whale nearby. As she rides the last wave back to the beach, a large Great White Shark knocks her off her surfboard and bites her leg. Nancy climbs onto the whale carcass, but the shark rams it from underneath, forcing her to swim to an isolated rock. She uses her surfboard strap to slow the bleeding from her leg. Later she uses her jewelry to put rudimentary stitches in place to hold her torn flesh together. Nancy is left alone when the unaware locals leave the beach and she spends the night on the rock with a wounded red-billed gull, which was also injured by the shark and names him Steven Seagull. The next morning, a drunk local man on the beach steals Nancy’s belongings. While wading out into the shallow water to steal Nancy’s surfboard, however, he is killed by the shark. Several hours later, the two locals Nancy had surfed with the day before return. They get into the water before Nancy can warn them away and are also killed by the shark. One of the local surfers was wearing a GoPro camera on his helmet. When he was attacked by the shark, his helmet had come off and floated to the surface. Nancy later sees the helmet in the water. After some struggle, she is able to retrieve it and notices in the footage of the attack, the shark has a large hook stuck in its mouth after a possible encounter with fishermen. Nancy uses the GoPro to leave messages for her sister and father as well as information about the shark attack and her location. With high tide approaching, Nancy realizes the rock will be submerged soon. After sending Steven Seagull towards shore on a piece of the surfboard and timing the shark’s circles from the whale carcass to the rock, Nancy swims to a nearby buoy, narrowly avoiding the shark by swimming through a group of jellyfish, which sting both the shark and her. Nancy finds a flare gun on the buoy. She shoots one flare to draw the attention of a faraway cargo ship, but the ship has already turned away and does not see her. She then fires another flare at the shark, setting the oil from the whale carcass alight and angering it, but otherwise having no effect. The shark then ferociously attacks the buoy and rips out the chains securing it to the ocean bed. Nancy straps herself to the last remaining chain and as it is ripped from the buoy, she is pulled down to the ocean floor, pursued by the shark. At the last moment, Nancy pulls out of the dive and the shark impales itself on some rebar from the buoy’s anchor. Later, a boy named Miguel (from the opening of the film at the beach) finds the action camera and informs his father, then revealed to be Carlos. Carlos finds Nancy floating close to shore and revives her. Nancy briefly sees a hallucination of her mother. As she looks around the beach, she sees that Steven Seagull has made it to the shore. One year later, a healed Nancy (now a doctor) and her sister Chloe go surfing in Galveston, Texas, as their father tells Nancy that her mother would have been proud.

Nancy Adams (Blake Lively) is a college medical student head toward a beach for a personal vacation. The beach was a favorite spot of her mother’s, who recently passed away from cancer. Nancy is driven there by a man named Carlos (Oscar Jaenada). She is supposed to be there with her friend, Anna, but she claims to have gotten sick, leaving Nancy to take the trip alone. She offers him some cash for his services, but he declines. Nancy gets into her surf gear and hits the waves on her board. She comes across two other surfers who know she is a visitor. Nancy joins the two of them as the waves get nicer. Later, Nancy has a video chat with her sister Chloe (Sedona Legge) to tell her all about the beach and how their mother was right about how it’s like paradise. Nancy then talks to her father (Brett Cullen), who knows she is taking the trip for her mother. He expresses concern to Nancy over her grief and actions. Nancy swims out past the shallows of the ocean to catch some more waves. As she gets further from the shore, she sees a whale carcass floating on top. Sensing trouble, Nancy tries to head back to the shore on a wave, but as she rides it, a large Great White shark slams into her and knocks her off the board. Nancy climbs back on and tries to paddle back, but the shark bites deep into her left leg, spilling a lot of blood into the water. Nancy struggles to escape and swims to a rock where the shark can’t catch her. She takes her ankle strap from her board and uses it as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Nancy sees the other two surfers and tries calling to them for help, but they don’t appear to hear or see her. She wraps her wetsuit around her leg. It starts getting darker as Nancy tries to get an opening away from the shark. Her only companion is a seagull with an injured wing. Nancy tries to eat a tiny crawling creature, but she quickly barfs it up.

On the shore, she sees a drunk man passed out in the sand. She calls out to him and manages to get his attention. Nancy points towards her bag for her to call for help. The man just steals her phone and wallet. He sees her board floating in the shallows and he walks into the water to get it. Nancy yells to him to get away from the shark. She then sees the shark attack the man as he heads back to the shore. The shark tears the man in half and the top half tries crawling away until he dies. Nancy gets colder as the night falls. She puts her suit back on to keep warm. She also loosens the tourniquet to allow blood flow to the leg. Nancy then tries to stich herself up using her earrings and necklace chain, but it’s too painful for her. In the morning, the other two surfers return to the ocean. Nancy calls to them as they ride their boards into the water. She warns them about the shark, but one surfer assures her there isn’t one. He’s proven wrong when the shark jumps up and eats him. The other surfer rushes towards the rock but the shark pulls him down. He resurfaces quickly by the rock where Nancy tries to pull him up. The shark pulls him down, leaving only his helmet with a camera on top, which captures him getting eaten. Nancy observes the shark’s movements as it circles the rock, estimating that it swims about 12 seconds around another rock, which leaves her with time to swim and reach the helmet. She takes that chance and makes it to the little rock, but she misses the helmet before the shark returns. As she goes back to the bigger rock, she sees the helmet again. Nancy reaches for it as the shark lunges toward her. The shark hurts itself as it scrapes against the coral. Nancy manages to get the helmet. She makes a video for anyone that finds the helmet. She shows how bad her leg has gotten, with gangrene setting in and she leaves a message for Chloe and their father. Nancy then tosses the helmet towards the shore. Nancy pops the seagull’s wing back into place and then lets it float away on a broken piece of surfboard.

Nancy sees a buoy several feet away. She makes her plan to reach it and try to bring attention to herself. As she prepares herself, the shark swim towards her. A school of Jellyfish rises up. Nancy thinks the shark can’t harm her if it runs into something that can hurt it. Nancy jumps into the water and swims toward the buoy and the shark follows closely. She gets stung on her shoulder, while the shark eats some Jellyfish and gets stung too. Nancy reaches the buoy and finds a flare gun. She grabs the flare gun and shoots a few fires in the air as she spots a boat in the distance. Unfortunately, the boat is already turned away and it never sees her. The shark starts to circle the buoy. Nancy fires a flare directly at the shark. Now pissed off, the shark starts slamming into the buoy, breaking the chains that keep it up. It manages to loosen the buoy and starts chomping into it. Nancy struggles to keep herself at a distance and to hold onto the buoy. While underwater, she notices the chain holding the buoy to a spiked base on the floor of the bay. At the right moment, Nancy gets the chain on a hook stuck in the shark’s side. This pulls her down toward the base as the shark chases her. She pulls out at the right moment, causing the shark to swim directly onto the base it gets impaled. On the shore, a little boy finds the helmet camera and sees Nancy’s video. He runs to get his father who is Carlos. The two find Nancy washed up on the shore, dehydrated and weak. They run to help her. Nancy sees the seagull standing close to her. Before she passes out, Nancy sees a vision of her mother smiling down on her. Nancy simply says, “I’m okay.” One year later, Nancy is doing better, albeit with a big scar on her leg. She returns to the beach with Chloe and their father. Nancy brings Chloe into the water to teach her how to surf.
