PlotIn the near future, geologist Adrian Helmsley learns of the imminent catastrophic breakdown of Earth's crust as the result of unprecedented solar activity. Governments across the globe secretly begin preparing for the survival of select individuals to ensure humanity's continued existence. The United States, along with other nations, starts building massive arks in the Himalayas, designed to hold those deemed necessary for the post-cataclysm world, while political and wealthy elites vie for places of refuge.
Meanwhile, struggling writer and limousine driver Jackson Curtis stumbles upon the truth of the impending apocalypse when he takes his kids camping in Yellowstone. There, he encounters conspiracy theorist Charlie Frost, who has detailed knowledge of the government's plans and the approaching global disaster. As the Earth's surface begins to crumble and massive earthquakes and tsunamis start to reshape the continents, Jackson makes a desperate bid to save his family. He must navigate the ensuing chaos, racing against time to find a safe haven from the world-shattering events unfolding around them.
