Summary:

After the 2004 Asian Tsunami wiped out whole communities on the Indian Ocean, Indonesia's West Sumatra province learnt a startling reality-they were next. A loosely allied bunch of scientists, students and ordinary citizens struggle to make sense of this suddenly precarious location, centering on the area capital of Padang and hurrying together a plan to save it before it's too late.
