He discovers that Oslo is sitting on a seismic time bomb and that a major earthquake could soon devastate the city.
His warnings go unheeded by authorities and family, prompting Kristian to take desperate measures to protect his loved ones, particularly his ex-wife and children. Driven by his responsibility towards them and his community, he races against time to gather evidence and alert people to the impending catastrophe.
