Meanwhile, biologist Cécile Roche (Cécile de France) discovers that a mutated bacterium is the cause of the deaths growing very rapidly on the French coast.
On Vancouver Island, the whale researcher Leon Anawak (Joshua Odjick) instead discovers new mutations in progress. Like the one it generated an extremely large, powerful and invasive species of mussel to the point of blocking a merchant ship. Leon also monitors carefully the story of the beached orcabecause natural death is not a plausible explanation.
At the same time, the young researcher Charlie (Leonie Benesch) heads to Kiel to find out what happened to her friend Jess (Andrea Guo) after discovering that Juno, the research ship where they both worked, has been sunk. Together with professor Katharina Lehmann (Barbara Sukowa) and doctoral student Rahim Amir (Eidin Jalali), Charlie watches images of Juno’s destruction. And he discovers something sensational.
