Biologist and extreme angler Jeremy Wade travels the world to find out the truth behind stories of freshwater fish that have developed a taste for human flesh. People have disappeared, people have been injured and people have been killed. Jeremy risks his life on expeditions to some of the planet's most inhospitable locations to track down eyewitnesses, survivors and victims of attacks. He hears of deadly Piranha feeding frenzies, fish that have swallowed people whole, mysterious sightings and vast fresh water horrors and heads out to hunt for these River Monsters for himself.
