Aprison break gone awry finds Mitch held hostage by a beautiful woman and forced to perform surgery on her escaped convict husband. Meanwhile, Matt and Slade decide to settle their mutual affection for summer in a daring surfing contest, and accidentally stumble upon a secret and dangerous underwater cavern.
When a beautiful woman appears near Mitch’s truck, he naturally assumes she’s in need of help. But Debra pulls a gun on him and quickly ushers Mitch to a nearby fishing boat, where escaped convict Brady Harris lies mortally wounded. With a gun aimed at him, and a rudimentary first aid kit, Mitch attempts to save Bradys life by surgically extracting a bullet, hoping that Garner and the rest of the Baywatch team will find him before Debra pulls the trigger.
Summer, meanwhile, is in the middle of a romantic tug-of-war between Matt and Slade. The pressure they put on her drives Summer deeper into the throes of bulimia. When CJ confronts her with her suspicions about the eating disorder, Summer angrily denies anything is wrong. Slade and Matt decide to surf dangerous and rocky Whitewater Cove in a contest to determine who should date Summer. Both Matt and Slade catch powerful waves, but Slade’s board fails to surface. Whitewater Cove, they learn, connects to an underwater cavern that is legendary for swallowing surfboards. Matt, Slade, and Summer decide to investigate. When the three swim into the cavern, they discover they are not alone, and have to fight for their lives to escape.
