Summary:
March 11, 2011 2:46 PM, Japan₂s Tohoku Region: at a magnitude of 9.0, the strongest earthquake in the country₂s history strikes, triggering a huge tsunami and carnage that would end up killing thousands of people and displacing many more. It mercilessly engulfs the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture, causing a crippling station blackout. Unable to be cooled, the nuclear reactors quickly turn into hydrogen bombs at the brink of explosion. If the power plant is abandoned, Japan's destruction is assured. Facing a life or death situation, the power plant workers, including shift supervisor Izaki and plant manager Yoshida, remain on the site until the bitter end. As the world holds its breath, they fight for their hometown, their families, and the future of Japan.
