In the 1990s, a nuclear test is carried out near to Infant Island, and a lizard nest is hit by the fallout. All but one of the eggs are cooked to death. Twenty years later, a Japanese fishing trawler wanders off course and finds itself close to Infant Island. Suddenly, something unknown rises from the ocean and the trawler loses contact shortly thereafter. A recovery ship is dispatched to investigate, and it sends out a radio message explaining that they have located the sunken wreckage of the trawler before they also go missing.
