Synopsis
When a nuclear strike on the Arctic seabed releases massive methane deposits into the atmosphere, it triggers a cascade of superstorms that threaten to destroy civilization. As hurricanes of unprecedented fury reshape the globe, a diverse cast of characters — from astronauts to media personalities to ordinary survivors — must confront both the catastrophe and the radical transformations it demands of humanity.
