Synopsis
A scientific possibility becomes a terrifying reality when the most powerful force in the universe comes closer to home.

Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Austin Shepard (Peter Fonda) suddenly disappears from his observatory at the Space Propulsion Labs, leaving shocking data behind for his assistant Ginny McKillip (Clemency Burton-Hill), seasoned news reporter Laurie Stephenson (Emma Samms), who’s looking for answers to bizarre sun storm activities, and fellow astrophysicist Christopher Richardson (Luke Perry). Joe Handey (Ronald Pickup), the Managing Director of SPL and National Intelligence Special Agent Lisa Delgado (Tia Carrere) fear that Shepard has been selling his classified top-secret Solar Probe discoveries and has gone into hiding. The truth is that Shepard has retreated to an island paradise with the lost love of his life where he’s planning to spend his final days. Because Shepard knows something that everyone else will soon discover for themselves: After eons of existence as a roiling inferno, the sun is set to explode in a supernova that will bring about the end of world in seven days.

Already electromagnetic pulses are being blamed for a series of inexplicable phenomena across the globe: schools of dolphins beaching themselves, a spontaneous zebra stampede that kills thirty children in a remote Kenyan village, locust swarms in Hong Kong, massive blackouts and freakish electrical storms, high frequency radiation bursts, and total loss of telecom satellite capability. Then fireballs vaporize the western states, the Sahara Desert is turned into a wasteland of black noxious gas, and a boiling tidal wave engulfs Australia. The President of the United States tries to quell the worldwide panic—from an underground bunker where he’s orchestrating a Noah’s Ark for the new millennium. As civilized man turns into a raving mass of panic and hysteria—and as uncivilized man acts on its own depraved impulses, Shepard’s team of survivors race against time to find the single saving grace to stop Shepard’s predictions of apocalypse from coming true.
