A research program abandoned by the best solar physicist when the Pentagon wanted to put it to military use has been resumed by his former deputy. Her incompetence and the Defense secretary's haste cause it to be tested too soon, stirring unprecedented solar flares, ultimately a plasma causing disasters on all continents. Only the genius can think of a way out, only to be victimized by the secretary, who needs to cover up. Even when it turns out the earth's core has stopped spinning, spelling an unimaginable seismic apocalypse, the genius must still evade special forces to stay free and save the world again.

Civilian sun scientist Michael Mitchell abandoned his government-funded research when the US Army decided to pervert it into a weapon program. His former deputy Jane continued it and let the Defense Secretary cut short safety protocols so as to test the High Frequency Disruptor, now intended as sun-powered ultimate space defense system, which isn't quite quality-checked. The result is an unprecedented solar flare, which causes a massive plasma cloud to head for earth. Nuclear diversion fails. The Defense Secretary orders Michael arrested, but his would be-son in-law Tim, a law-abiding police cadet, helps Jane spring him from jail, as he may manage to modify the weapon enough to disperse the plasma cloud, tiny sparks of which already trigger natural disasters on every continent.

Once the solar flare magma is averted, the Defense Secretary believes the danger gone and orders Michael secretly arrested and tortured so his high frequency destroyer can be seized. While the president declares on TV the emergency is expiring, the White House is destroyed by a first wave of seismic shocks. Michael's theory is soon confirmed: the earth's core stopped spinning due to the magna's gravitational pull, which means the planet is likely to be torn apart. After Tim helps him escape, he comes up with a daring remedy, after the army's neutron bombardment fails utterly. The vice-president is a weak, indecisive woman, whom the secretary is determined to remove any way it takes.
