Part 1

Oliver Booth's oil giant Trans Nova poses as an Environmentally friendly company while drilling with an experimental high-depth technique in a rural small town nature reserve. Local geologist Matthew Cooper dismisses the first incident of toxic fumes, unlike Booth's daughter Emily, whose fanatic hostility only discredits Peter Loson's green movement. After drill control room supervisor Hector Janen tips off Cooper through Emily, he realizes the 'oil' Booth secretly tried to tap into too deep is probably a magma chamber, large enough to trigger the apocalyptic scenario which may spell the end of life on earth (ELE). Emily's eight year-old son Dylan's class is on a field trip. A rapid succession of explosions with ash and toxic fumes proves it's already started.
