Plot Summary (Fictional)

Following the catastrophic events of the first film, California is still reeling from the destruction caused by the record-breaking earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. Ray Gaines, now a national hero, has returned to duty with FEMA and is helping rebuild communities devastated by the quake.

However, scientists begin to detect unusual seismic activity not just in California, but in other parts of the world. A leading geophysicist warns that the tectonic disruption from the San Andreas quake may have triggered a global chain reaction, particularly affecting the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which could lead to an even more devastating "megaquake".

As Aftershocks continue to rock the Pacific Northwest, Ray is called into action again. His daughter Blake, now training to be a rescue pilot herself, joins him on a mission to save lives and uncover the truth behind the spreading disaster. Their journey takes them from Los Angeles to Seattle, facing crumbling cities, tsunamis, and collapsing infrastructure.

Meanwhile, a mysterious corporate group is revealed to have ignored geological warnings to keep profits flowing, putting millions more at risk. Ray and his team must not only fight nature but also overcome human greed to prevent a global catastrophe.
