β¦ Synopsis
A team of scientists unlocks the secret of the next phase of human evolution in the most unstable geological region on the planetβ¦at the bottom of the sea in the Pacific Ring of Fire. When a massive earthquake rocks Oceania, generating a tsunami that decimates the surrounding islands and sinks the research vessel, a rescue team is dispatchedβ¦only to find that the majority of the crew had been slaughtered prior to the shipβs foundering.
The survivors find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere on an island thatβs being ripped apart from the inside out, desperately trying to reach the lone settlement on the far side.
But they arenβt alone.
Something is hunting them from the jungle, something borne of the fire at the Earthβs core.
And their only hope for escape rests in the hands of a man who would sooner let them all die than share the islandβs secrets.
