Volcanology professor John Shepherd comes to realize that recent
unexplainable volcanic activity the world over is the start of a coming global
catastrophe which could lead to mankind's extinction. Assisted by several of
his students and a wheelchair-bound colleague, the professor sets out to
gather the evidence needed to convince government officials that a worst
case scenario is unfolding. Can he convince the Powers That Be that the
end
is near, devise a plan to potentially prevent Armageddon, and save his own
troubled marriage before time runs out?
