History[]
In Burundi, Africa a British forensic anthropologist is examining the corpses in a mass grave which was discovered due to one of the boy villagers told them upon local, where she had expressed and claimed they were all killed in an identical manner. But once the woman digs her shovel into what she believes is another grave site, an unseen large and fast creature attacks and violently drags her into the nearby river. The United Nation soldiers accompanying her had open fired into the water attempting to kill or lure out the monstrous beast, but only her mangled corpse floats to the surface - before being devoured, as it takes her corpse underneath again.
A Veteran reporter in New York City, Tim Manfrey (Dominic Purcell) lands the worst assignment of his life where he has to Travel to the African country of Burundi to locate and capture what they considered the world's largest crocodile. Which by the villagers had dubbed "Gustave", the crocodile is said to have dined on hundreds of humans over the years as Gustave is now suddenly a story of interest to the world. Tim doesn't want to go, knowing that Burundi is a war zone, but he has little choice by his boss Roger, since one of his stories turns out to have been based on falsified evidence. Tim and Aviva are accompanied to Burundi by Tim's cameraman and friend, Steven Johnson (Orlando Jones) and herpetologist Matt Collins (Gideon Emery), who is intent on capturing Gustave alive.
At the airport in Bujumbura they are met by one of the government officials nicknamed Harry (Dumisani Mbebe), who had attempted to delay their departure by warning them of unrest in the bush, caused by a dangerous warlord who has nicknamed himself "Little Gustave." after the legend of Gustave, but Tim manages to overrule Harry by making a fake call to Roger, and the team departs the next day, accompanied by two soldiers.
Later on travels to see a local hunter, someone with a vendetta against the large crocodile who killed his wife years ago, had heard by a nearby village that a young girl was killed by Gustave, as she attempted to swim for her Doll, displaying just how active Gustave is in the wild.
