The debris has carried with it an ecosystem bathed in radioactive waste. Could that foreign waste and marine life carry with it a mutated contagion so virulent it could wipe out the human race? Seismobiologist, Martin Ford, isn't psychic but uses his knowledge of animal behavior to foretell earthquakes. His latest prophecy, a megaquake along the Pacific Ring of Fire, compels him to convince California Governor Malcolm Finch to evacuate the coast. However, his warnings are neglected. But when his prediction materializes, the occupants of San Francisco University Hospital (SFUH) are quarantined and the city of San Francisco placed under martial law. Within SFUH, a deadly contagion is spreading. Martin Ford must save his fiancée, held under quarantine, before she contracts the deadly disease. But when he uncovers the truth about the deadly contagion, he's ordered killed by the President of the United States.
