Piesočné pláže, modré more a žiarivé nebo vítajú návštevníkov rekreačného mesta Amity. Nikto netuší, že pod hladinou čaká neobyčajne agresívny sedemmetrový biely žralok. Čoskoro si nájde prvú obeť, neskôr ďalšiu a ďalšiu. Starosta mesta Vaughn nechce prísť o tučné príjmy z letnej sezóny, preto sa usiluje všetko utajiť a rozhodne nechce pláž zavrieť.

Všetky tajomstvá raz vyplávajú na povrch. Baker má toho dosť za sebou. Svoje životné rany si hojí v pokoji a horúčave rajského exotického ostrova kdesi v Karibiku. Živí sa tu ako rybársky sprievodca, má svoju loď s názvom „Serenity“, v dedine má domček aj milenku a nepeknú minulosť zapíja v bare. Ticho jeho života prelomí ako blesk z jasného neba jeho bývalá žena Karen. A prinesie búrku. Znenazdajky sa objaví a zúfalo požaduje od Bakera, aby zabil jej súčasného násilníckeho manžela. V mene ich spoločného syna, aj v mene jedného milióna dolárov ako odmeny, má vziať jej manžela na rybársku výpravu a uprostred oceánu ho hodiť žralokom. Baker najprv odmieta, ale pokojné vody karibského raja sú už nenávratne sčerené. Výčitky a strach o syna ho začnú ešte viac prenasledovať a začne o návrhu premýšľať. Následná vlna vášní, udalostí a zvratov odhalí aj tie najskrytejšie tajomstvá.
Jednej búrlivej noci vyloví talianska rybárska loď z mora muža, skôr mŕtveho než živého. V chrbte má guľky a pod kožou štítok s číslom bankového konta v švajčiarskej banke. Viac nič. Keď sa mu konečne vráti vedomie, nič o sebe svojim záchrancom nedokáže povedať. Trpí úplnou stratou pamäte. Postupne zisťuje, že ovláda bojové umenia, dohovorí sa v niekoľkých jazykoch a že si poradí s každou zbraňou. To signalizuje veľmi nebezpečnú minulosť. Ale kto a prečo ho chcel zabiť, si vybaviť nedokáže. V zürišskej depozitnej schránke, kam sa vydá akonáhle loď pristane, nájde hneď niekoľko cestovných dokladov, závratne vysokú hotovosť, automatickú pištoľ a meno Jason Bourne s parížskou adresou. Aj keď o sebe stále nič nevie, čoskoro pochopí, že ľudia, ktorí ho poznajú, usilujú o jeho život. A tak Márii, prvému dievčaťu, ktorú stretne, ponúkne 10.000 dolárov za cestu do Paríža. Až tu, s pomocou Márie, ktorej život prevrátil hore nohami, začína skladať prvé kamienky do mozaiky svojej minulosti.
