The film begins with two researchers, Frank and Tillman on a rubber tube raft until Tillman is dragged into the water and killed by a crocodile. In Aroostook County, Maine, Frank shows Sheriff James Riley the severed body parts of Tillman. James, Frank, Fish and Wildlife officer Emma Warner venture to Black Lake to investigate. After stopping the boat, Emma jumps into the lake to see if there’s anything, eventually to find Tillman’s severed head.
Next up, three adventurers, Mike, Edie, and Sharon visit the lake. James, Frank, and Emma return to land to visit a cabin home to an elderly lady named Sadie Bickerman. Emma and James requests a few questions from Sadie about her sister Delores from the previous film who gone missing ever since but Sadie declines the answer. On the three adventurers’ scene, Mike, Edie, and Sharon are all killed by a crocodile while swimming.
The sheriff’s son, Scott Riley wanders into the woods, mistaking an incoming crocodile for his pet dog, Daisy. Scott then meets Kerri and her boyfriend, Thad. Daisy barks about something moving in the lake but Kerri sees nothing. A much more lenient Sadie talks with a photographer at a boat dock before going back to her cabin and the photographer is captured and killed by a swarm of baby crocodiles while taking pictures.
Riding the boat again, James forcefully hits the brakes, knocking Frank into the lake but James and Emma bring him back on board to safety. When a crocodile appears, James draws his gun and the crocodile dives under to knock the three off the boat. The boat is demolished and all three go to land. The three meet Struthers and Ahmad, who drove a plane to distract the crocodile.
