With over 300 verified sightings of the mysterious creature, Beban decides to hunt for evidence of his own. He assembles a team of expert divers and advanced sonar operators to investigate three areas in Lake Champlain where frequent sightings have occurred.

But mysterious audio captured beneath the surface leaves the team more shocked than ever.
