An incoming massive Tsunami sends a holiday gathering into chaos after the invited family members discover that their wealthy doomsday prepper brother and his family have an escape plan that doesn’t include them.
An absurdly wealthy venture capitalist philanthropist gathers his family as a documentary crew films a promotional video about him, including his dying mother and his estranged veteran brother. But when a massive earthquake strikes and he is caught by his family trying to escape to his survival bunker without them, he becomes trapped with them and called out for his hypocrisy as they all struggle desperately to survive the chaos.
An arrogant businessman invites his ex-military brother and the rest of their dysfunctional family together for a gathering. After learning of an approaching tsunami, the businessman attempts to abandon some members of his family during a failed escape, thus resulting in high-running tensions as he and the rest of his clan try to figure out how to survive the oncoming disaster.
A dysfunctional family tries to conceal their disagreements and flaws from a documentary crew filming them. When a tsunami hits, the group struggles to work together as criminals enter their gated neighborhood in search of loot.
