“...when the Earth shakes!”

When a series of tremors rocks Los Angeles, seismologist Kimberly Stevenson is sent to investigate the quake's epicenter, a desolate wilderness known as the Angeles National Forest. Two hundred miles from civilization, Kimberly and her son, Justin, set up a research facility in an isolated mountain cabin.
