A small town in the path of disaster. Its last chance may be the bond between a father and son.
In the small town of Rutland, Missouri, fourteen-year old Eric Dobbs (Jesse Eisenberg) discovers that two giant storms are on a collision course. From his calculations, Eric believes the force of the storms could destroy everything in Rutland. When the national weather service dismisses Eric's findings, he turns to his father, Sheriff Tom Dobbs (John Schneider). As streaks of supercharged electricity bursts from the sky electrocuting everyone in its path, and plunging the town into darkness, Sherrif Dobbs realizes that his son may be the town's best hope for survival. Now father and son must race against time and the elements to save their town from the fire from the sky.
