Unfortunately, once they’re on the water, things don’t go according to plan. Or, rather, Mac never made a plan, so things go wrong pretty quickly. And when Mac is swept overboard, Croc has to act decisively to help his friend. Will Croc surprise himself by ignoring his fears and enjoying the experience of a lifetime with his best pal?
