A storm of hurricane-like proportions crashes into the coast, devastating the town of Wick in Scotland. It gets worse as a flood sets in and destroys everything in its path. The tidal reading is getting higher and a flood warning is put out as homes are destroyed and casualties increase.

Meanwhile in London everything is calm and the city shines in all its glory – its architecture, iconic river and the impressive edifice of the Thames Barrier gleaming in the sunlight.

Back in the sleepy village of Wick the flood is getting worse. It is all over the news showing shocking images of houses submerged and the death toll is increasing. Rob Morrison (Robert Carlyle) head of Atlantis Engineering is contacted by one of his staff who is in Wick where he is experiencing firsthand the extent of the damages as the storm continues.
