Plot

In 1995, submersible pilot Toshio Onodera wakes up pinned inside his car in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, after an earthquake wreaked havoc in the city and nearby Suruga Bay. As an aftershock triggers an explosion, a rescue helicopter led by Reiko Abe saves him and a young girl named Misaki while a nearby mountain (possibly Mount Fuji) erupts.
