The Rutland Dam is 'a titanic waiting to happen.' A melting snow pack, torrential rains, and a rising reservoir threaten to put the small town under millions of gallons of water. A tragic accident at the dam alerts disgraced architect David Powell (Joe Lando) to the impending danger, but the corrupt construction company president (Bruce Boxleitner) does his best to discredit him. David must convince his estranged wife, Rutland's acting mayor (Michele Greene), and his son, an architectural apprentice at the dam, that the town must be evacuated. Time is running out, the water is rising, and Rutland could be submerged in a flash!
