Scientist had long predicted that the volcanic Island of La Palma would someday collapse into the sea, maybe tomorrow or maybe thousands of years in the future. When it does collapse, without warning, it causes a mega-tsunami which devastates the east coast of America, killing millions, destroying cities, including New York and Washington. In the aftermath, a few surviving government officials struggle to reestablish government, and protect the vulnerable country from attack or invasion, while fending off sinister, subversive elements within the government who are attempting a coup d' tat. Two couples, Mary and Roy, and Joe and Linda, previously unknown to each other and thrown together by the disaster, not only find love, but significantly influence the outcome of events.
