Time is ticking for the people of Naples and no one knows when it'll run out. A giant is reawakening and the Neapolitans are none the wiser. Sandwiched between a super volcano and a stratovolcano, Campi Flegrei and Mount Vesuvius, Naples is in the target zone of an inevitable disaster with the ability to wipe the city off the map. The question is when? When Italian expat, Francesco Carbone, visits the Boston Triage Group for help, Louise Destrey, renowned industrial psychologist, is wedged into a difficult dilemma. Mount Vesuvius will erupt, and soon, but without hard evidence or a date, she knows telling people to abandon their homes will not go well. Unwilling to give up, Francesco sets out to find the data he needs to persuade Destrey to help him, while she assembles her team and supercomputer Lola to understand what they might be facing. What Lola discovers has Destrey and her team fearing for their families. Evacuating Naples won't be easy, and predicting when Vesuvius will erupt will be harder, but a sense of duty pushes Francesco and Destrey to plead with Neapolitans to flee their homeland. But is it even possible?
