After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, Ray (Johnson) teams up with his estranged wife as they make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their daughter. However, their treacherous journey north is only the beginning, and when they think the worst may be over…it’s just getting started.
