The tidal affect is destroying shorelines around the world, and Geophysicist Alex Cave is asked to find the reason. He leads his team on a harrowing journey from Iceland to Nevada, but they don't realize they are being followed by Janice Sloan, a ruthless woman dealing in stolen technology.

When she turns it on, satellites start falling from the sky and the International Space Station is pulled from orbit.
