Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don't realize that the
boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying
supervolcano, so large that the caldera can only be seen by plane or
satellite. And by some scientific measurements, it could be overdue for
an eruption. For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the
freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without
hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts,
plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence.
Alex begins a harrowing trek to seach for his family and finds help in
Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find
the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.
