Kyle remembers a sign he saw at the beach about giant waves that can come after an earthquake. They see Daren and try to help him get outside.
An earthquake hits and the hotel is on fire. When Kyle’s parents go to an awards ceremony out on a large ship off the coast, they leave him to watch his sister, BeeBee, for the night. As they are checking into the hotel Kyle sees a bully, Daren, from school. He gets to fly on a plane for the first time and see the Pacific Ocean during their visit to Oregon's coast. The perfect vacation has become a nightmare! Somehow Kyle and BeeBee have to outwit nature’s fury and save themselves from tsunami terror.Thirteen year old Kyle is excited for his family vacation. The giant wave charges straight up the hillside and through the woods where the children are running for their lives. Kyle and BeeBee flee uphill as a tsunami crashes over the beach, the hotel, and the town. Giant tsunami waves-three or four stories high-can ride in from the sea and engulf anyone who doesn’t escape fast enough.
Then the earthquake comes-starting a fire in their hotel! As Kyle and BeeBee fight their way out through smoke and flame, Kyle remembers the sign at the beach that said after an earthquake everyone should go uphill and inland, as far from the ocean as possible. One evening Kyle is left in charge of his younger sister, BeeBee, while his parents attend an adults-only Salesman of the Year dinner on an elegant yacht. He’d never flown before, and he’s never seen the Pacific Ocean. Thirteen-year-old Kyle thought spending a vacation on the Oregon coast with his family would be great. When an earthquake hits on their family vacation, can Kyle and his sister survive the following tsunami?
