Technicians on an oil rig monitor attempt to reach the world's largest oil reserve--an eighty billion barrel reservoir one hundred miles beneath the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, when all of a sudden, something goes terribly wrong. The tragic result is an explosion which unleashes a tsunami that slams into the tropical island of Koniki destroying it completely. Simultaneously, two thousand miles away in Northern Siberia, the town of Moltov is swallowed by a giant sinkhole.
