Description: In 1992, a powerful category 5 hurricane named “Andrew” devastates the town of Gulfport, Alabama. Will and Breeze Rutledge, along with their father, attempt to evacuate but are forced to take shelter in a nearby house after their truck gets stuck. Tragically, their father is killed when a water tank is blown into him by the fierce winds.
Years later, in 2018, another category 5 hurricane named “Tammy” threatens Gulfport. Casey Corbyn, a Federal Reserve Treasury agent, is instructed by her colleague Randy Moreno to call Breeze, who now works in maintenance, to fix the generator at a cash storage facility. Breeze’s brother, Will, is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
While Casey is away, rogue Treasury agents led by Connor Perkins break into the facility, taking Randy hostage. Their goal is to steal $600 million. Perkins enlists hackers Sasha and Frears to crack the vault’s code. When they fail, Perkins suspects Casey may have changed the code and sends his men to find her. The hackers attempt a brute-force attack using the town’s transmission tower.
On her way back to the facility with Breeze, Casey encounters the mercenaries and engages in a shootout. Will arrives in his Storm Research Vehicle, the Dominator, and helps Casey escape, but Breeze is captured and forced to repair the generator.
Learning of his brother’s capture, Will teams up with Casey to confront Sheriff Jimmy Dixon for help. However, Dixon betrays them, revealing his alliance with Perkins. Casey shoots Dixon, and they manage to escape. During a chase, Will uses the Dominator to knock Dixon’s car off the road. Realizing the transmission tower is aiding the hackers, Will and Casey destroy it just before the code is cracked. Perkins’ men pursue them, but they evade capture.
Dixon turns against Perkins, accusing him of a failed heist during the previous hurricane. When Dixon demands all the money, Perkins kills him and convinces Dixon’s men to hunt down Casey.
