When bizarre radiation storms suddenly erupt, defense systems are wiped out, polar outposts are incinerated and space debris blasts holes clear through our planet. Now a tough federal agent (Robert Knepper of "Prison Break" and "Heroes"), a cool government scientist (Julia Benson of "SGU Stargate Universe"), and his rebel genius son (Cameron Bright of THE TWILIGHT SAGA) have uncovered a magnetospheric nightmare that could stop the Earth's rotation. Do a disgraced inventor (Bruce Davison of "Lost") and an archaic satellite hold the sole keys to our survival, or is the clock ticking towards the annihilation of mankind?
