Part 2/8:
In Japan, we meet Joe Brody, a nuclear power plant engineer, who is alerted about strange seismic tremors echoing the Philippines. He and his wife Sandra decide to investigate these tremors at the plant, amidst a failing system and growing panic. After a catastrophic failure, where Joe is forced to shut the doors on his wife to save the city from a radiation leak, the calamity effectively tears their family apart.
Fifteen years later, Joe's son, Ford, a bomb expert in the Navy, is called back to Japan when his father is arrested for trespassing in a quarantined area. Joe is determined to uncover the truth about what happened at the plant, which he believes is linked to the mysterious creature awakened from its slumber.
