Everything is calm in the city, so who needs the Senior Squad of retired detectives?...until trail bikers and kayakers are suddenly disappearing along a stretch of the Chicago River, disappearing into the river with a bizarre creature ripping them apart and feeding them to its babies.

Can they put an end to the ravenous snake being in the river, and to capture or kill her offspring?
