This movie starts out letting us get to know Bethany and her love for surfing. This sport is her passion. The main character is played by AnnaSophia Robb. She does an amazing job showing her emotions throughout the film.
The film does not take long to get to the point of the shark attack. Luckily when the tiger shark attacks her she has other people with her and they are able to help her get to safety and call an ambulance. Bethany loses 60% of her blood in the attack and her left arm. She is lucky be alive.
At first, she tries to surf and compete but realizes that she is having problems getting up in the water like normal. A company offers Bethany a prosthetic arm, but it does not work the way she had hoped for when she puts it on. She steps away from the sport of surfing for a bit realizing that it might not be her anymore.
