The Chain Reaction background

The Chain Reaction

A couple's relaxing getaway turns deadly when they become embroiled in a sinister plot to cover up a devastating nuclear catastrophe.

A nuclear waste storage facility in rural Australia is damaged in an earthquake, causing a leak that threatens to contaminate the local water supply. The engineer responsible, Heinrich, is injured and tries to escape to warn the public, but his boss is more concerned with covering up the accident to protect himself, even if it means putting thousands of lives at risk.
