Sharkunami Gone Barmy! When a tsunami traps shoppers inside a coastal Australian supermarket, their survival prospects are reduced even further when Great White Sharks find their way into the area. It's as nutty as it sounds, a bonkers but wonderfully genius premise is played out with "B" movie heart and a smile on its face.

Fortunately, one of their number stuck atop the shelves is "Josh" (Xavier Samuel) who used to be a lifeguard. Now he works in the shop too, so has even more extra specialist knowledge. Not so luckily, he has baggage and his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend and some some other unsavoury types who...
