Plot[]
A year after the massacre on Lake Victoria by piranhas, an eradication campaign has left the lake uninhabitable and the town has been largely abandoned. At Cross Lake, two farmers search the waters. Piranha eggs that have been laid inside a dead cow hatch, and the farmers are killed.
Maddy returns home for the summer to the water park she co-owns. She finds that the other owner, her stepfather Chet plans to add an adult-themed section to the waterpark. At a party at the waterpark Maddy encounters her ex-boyfriend Kyle and Barry, Ashley, and Shelby. Shelby and her boyfriend Josh go skinny-dipping in the lake, where a piranha enters her vagina. Ashley and Travis begin to have sex in their van, but Ashley trips the handbrake, causing the van to roll into the lake. Handcuffed to the van during foreplay and unable to escape, Travis is devoured while Ashley, on the roof, calls for help. With no one around, the van sinks into the lake and she is eaten by the piranhas.
Maddy consoles Shelby about their friends when they are attacked by a swarm of piranhas. They manage to kill one and then Maddy, Kyle, and Barry take it to marine expert, Carl Goodman, to examine. He informs them that the piranhas may be moving between lakes and that they could evolve to become terrain-viable. The trio return to the lake, where they establish that the piranhas cannot make their way into the pipes connecting the lake and the water park. While Shelby and Josh are having sex, the piranha in Shelby's vagina bites Josh's penis forcing him to chop it off. Both are hospitalized but survive. Kyle is revealed to be corrupt and taking bribes from Chet, who is pumping water from an underground river into the water park.. Chet orders Kyle to keep Maddy from finding out about his plans.
The adult water park opens. Among the guests are Deputy Fallon and former cameraman Andrew Cunningham. Fallon is there in hopes of overcoming his fear of the water after they were attacked a year ago. Maddy attempts to shut the waterpark down but is stopped by Chet and Kyle. The piranhas then make their way to the area and attack, killing many. Fallon attaches a shotgun prosthesis to his legs, while David Hasselhoff rescues David. Chet refuses to help any survivors, including Kiki, who is eaten. He reluctantly offers some cash to a young girl whose mother is dead, but then accidentally reverses over her with his golf cart. As Chet attempts to drive off to safety, he is decapitated by a cable when he is distracted by a fleeing woman in a bikini.
Maddy instructs Barry to begin draining the pools while she attempts to save those still in the water. However, while she is rescuing people, she becomes caught in the suction and is dragged down to the bottom of the pool. After Kyle refuses to save her because of his fear of piranhas and despite being unable to swim, Barry leaps down and brings her to the surface, whereupon Maddy is revived. Thankful for saving her, she shares a kiss with Barry.
Another employee, Big Dave, pours chlorine into the pipes, followed by a lit joint. The resulting explosion kills most of the piranhas. Kyle is also killed by a falling trident. The celebrations are cut short when Maddy takes a phone call from Mr. Goodman, who informs them that the piranha left with him is evolving and is now, after escaping its tank, able to move on land, to which Maddy replies she knows. A piranha emerges from the pool decapitating David and the film ends with the survivors taking pictures of David's corpse on their phones.
