Plot

In Boston, volcanologist Trevor Anderson receives a visit from his sister-in-law, the wife of his brother Max, who disappeared ten years earlier during a scientific expedition in Iceland. The woman has brought her son Sean with her to spend ten days with his uncle, whom she has not seen for six years. Bored, Sean and Trevor begin to rummage through a box belonging to Max and find many objects, including a copy of the famous novel by Jules Verne Journey to the Center of the Earth, on whose pages Max had written many notes. Interested in the notes written by his brother, Trevor goes to the laboratory where Max worked and finds other notes that suggest traveling to Iceland.

Unable to bring Sean back to his mother, Trevor embarks on an adventure with the young man. On the plane, Sean manages to decipher the name of a volcanological institute from a book. Once on the island, after a long car ride, the two meet Hannah, the daughter of the deceased founder of the institute, a young and expert mountain guide whose help is needed to find and extract the metal body of an important seismic activity detector at the top of an extinct volcano. Up there, the three are surprised by a storm, which forces them to abandon the sensor (being made of metal, it attracts lightning) and take refuge in a cave…
