A high-octane disaster spectacle centered on civic heroism and technical problem-solving as Los Angeles faces an unprecedented volcanic threat.

An earthquake shatters a peaceful Los Angeles morning and opens a fissure deep into the earth, causing lava to start bubbling up. As a volcano begins forming in the La Brea Tar Pits, the director of the city's emergency management service, working with a geologist, must then use every resource in the city to try and stop the volcano from consuming LA.
