Summary |
An earthquake in rural Australia causes a dangerous leak at WALDO, a nuclear waste storage facility. Heinrich Schmidt, an engineer badly exposed to radiation, knows that the leak will poison the groundwater for hundreds of miles around, and wants to warn the public. His boss, however, is only interested in protecting himself, and plots a cover up. Heinrich escapes from the facility, but is too badly injured to get far. He is rescued by Larry, an auto mechanic on vacation with his wife, Carmel. Meanwhile the plant's security team is quickly closing in on the trio. |
