Global blackouts and telecommunication meltdown coincide with a Professor's horrific discovery that a massive solar storm is heading towards Earth! In an attempt to warn the nation, he urges NASA and the government to take proactive measures. Meanwhile, Douglas Hoffman an ex-marine witnesses the death of his brother on the International Space Station. In order to uncover the truth he must relinquish his past so that the hero within can re-emerge. Whilst he battles against catastrophe, he must also protect a woman who unwittingly holds the key to the government's secret plans. But a further obstacle remains, a corrupt agent who will stop at nothing to prevent Douglas from unmasking a covert operation. An unpopular President strives to gain popularity during his upcoming re-election. Previously uninformed, he now faces far greater challenges, the Herculean task of getting his nation to safety all the while his own officials plan to save a select few. Will he put his own safety first? Or will he risk his own life to become the President that his people call for?
