John Garrity has survived a comet strike with his wife Allison and their teenage son Nathan. Five years later, earthquakes destroy their shelter in Greenland and force them to leave. The family crosses ruined parts of Europe toward a crater in France where people may be able to rebuild their lives. The movie mixes dangerous escapes with John's failing health and his fear that he will not live long enough to bring his family to safety. Allison takes a leadership role on the bunker council and wins support for rescuing people despite a shortage of supplies. This gives her a secondary role in making decisions for the wider community. John remains the family's main protector, and his final sacrifice allows Allison and Nathan to reach their new home. The story values marriage, care for children, and helping strangers while showing how hard those duties become when survival is at stake.
