Two young companions join a team of scientists on a small island when a long-dormant volcano shows signs of catastrophic eruption, threatening a coastal town with toxic fumes and earthquakes. They help establish a research headquarters, carry out seismic and field work, and face local fatalism as deliberate sabotage and advancing lava complicate rescue and containment efforts.
