Spoilers ahead

A volcano beneath New York City seems unlikely, yet nothing else can explain the bizarre tremors and terrifying explosions wreaking havoc on the city. Matt McLaughlin, a tunnel digger and head of the Sandhogs, has witnessed lava seeping into the city’s aqueduct system and understands there is a terrifying truth at work behind the chaos. A group of tramps trying to keep warm in Central Park near a heat vent dies from carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide poisoning, and a harbor boat is blown apart by a vent explosion. The FBI Terror Task Force begins pursuing the supposed terrorists who killed the tramps and blew up the boat, even as the city reels from the unfolding disaster.
