Volcano

An island people are fighting for their lives. A volcano in the Canaries has erupted and soon ash and lava will annihilate everything - unless the locals can destroy the volcano first. So a desperate group set out armed with high explosives. Three thousand miles away, across the Atlantic Ocean, the peaceful seaport of Goodwill, Maine, is getting ready for its Founder's Day celebrations. But all is not well. Freak swells strike the coast, corpses are washed from cemeteries, the whales disappear from the sea. A convoy of surfers arrive, having heard that something big is about to happen and they want to be part of it. And as the islanders pack their explosives-into a fault line, even the ocean will not save Goodwill from what happens next....
