Scott Mitchell, a Zoologist, is aware that is his wife Kate is secretly having an affair. Concerned about saving his marriage, and keeping his family intact, he takes up an offer from Kate’s father, Daniel Rannoch, as Chief Ranger at the newly developed Diamond Heights Nature Reserve, which is deep within the picturesque Scottish forests and mountains.
As Scott struggles with the irreconcilable differences between him and Daniel, he battles the guilt after a car accident where his negligence of concentrating led to his 15-year-old daughter being paralysed and bound to a wheelchair.
Settling in their new environment, Scott’s hope for a peaceful new life are thwarted as animals are found deformed around the park. Kate’s necropsy uncovers a deadly virus infecting the animals. After a ranger is brutally attacked and killed, along with two hunters, Scott and his rangers must track, what they believe to be, a mutated bear.
Scott discovers that the former Chief, Harvey Nelson, was not killed in a mysterious crash along with his wife Sandra two months prior, but by the very beast they are hunting. Daniel had conspired to conceal chemicals, which have leaked into the loch. Not only have the animals contracted the virus, but Scott fears that the environment has been subjected to an environmental change caused by man’s neglect.
Scott and Kate’s 16-year-old daughter, Tamara, has fallen for a local boy, Cameron Nelson, who has inherited a wealthy fortune after his parent’s death. Scott discovers they have taken Kayley, along with some other friends, to the nearby holiday village to swim in the closed down pool and are completely unaware that the beast is lurking nearby. Scott and Kate race to the scene for one purpose – to kill this beast.
