Osmnáct let uplynulo od chvíle, kdy Anděla, žraločí samice druhu Megalodon, uprchla z Tanakovy laguny a vrátila se do Marianského příkopu. Dobrodruh Jonas Taylor se mezitím stal mužem středního věku a otcem dvou dětí, zavaleným horou účtů a každodenními starostmi o rodinu. Ale v jeho životě se chystá změna. Jeden hollywoodský televizní producent chce, aby se Jonas objevil v jeho novém dobrodružném seriálu Odvážlivci. Dalších šest týdnů se pak dva týmy výstředních odvážlivců snaží před televizními kamerami na palubě repliky španělské galeony v jižním Pacifiku zvítězit jeden nad druhým. Jonas potřebuje peníze, a práce mu připadá docela snadná: jeho úkolem je doplňovat barvitý komentář pro televizní show. Avšak za scénou je kdosi jiný, kdo tahá za nitky. A než všechno skončí, Jonas, Terry a Mac se opět ocitnou tváří v tvář nejnebezpečnějšímu tvoru, jaký kdy na zemi existoval.
Pod Filipínskou tektonickou deskou leží pravěké moře Panthalassa s původními obyvateli – ohromnými predátory. Megalodon, jeden z nich, je chován v zajetí v mořském akváriu v Monterey, jeho mláďata v akváriu v Dubaji. Sledujme hrůzné epizody spojené s chovem nebezpečného dravce, a napínavou cestu ponorky do hlubin Panthalassy s úkolem objevit a chytat další dosud neznámé exempláře z „pradávných vod".
