Plot

15 year old Patrick (Kevin Zegers) has spent many summer holidays with his parents at their cottage on a small island off the coast of South Carolina. Recent years have seen a growth of industrial developments on the island, damaging tourism. At the beginning of the film, a crate of large reptilian looking eggs are discarded at the roadside by a van driver. Twenty years later, on a holiday at their summer home, Patrick's parents are attacked and killed by something which leaves Patrick in a state of shock, unable to recall the events.

Patrick's grandmother finds Victoria Juno (Jill Hennessy), a young psychiatrist to help Patrick come to terms with his grief. Together with his aunt Annie (Nina Landis) the three return to the island where they come face to face with the endangered and viciously starving group of Komodo dragons.
