Bait

Mark, a former marine biologist, returns to his childhood coastal town to restore an old fishing boat. The local fishermen whisper about strange sounds from the depths and missing livestock. His neighbor Ella, daughter of a missing captain, insists something is hunting in the cove. When Mark finds unidentified scaly fragments on the shore, his scientific skepticism clashes with ancient superstition. He gradually realizes the tide brings more than seaweed, and his boat is not just a project but a potential trap. The line between rational explanation and primal fear erodes with each ebb, leaving new, disturbing traces in the sand.
