All starts at Dermafacial Educational and Beauty Center. Jacob, his mother Missy, and Kate (BFF of Missy) are hosting a workshop. The other 6 women (guests) are introduced. Glenda and Marina are friends and Glenda brings her baby. Suddenly, news on TV warn about the dam's imminent collapse, and they watch in shock. Authorities urge people to evacuate, but before they can act, the signal is lost, and chaos begins. The dam bursts, and the flood surges through LA at terrifying speed. The Center is hit hard, forcing them act quickly. Jacob takes charge, leading them upwards and onto the roof before the lower floor is submerged. They see cars being swept away, buildings collapse. They must leave. Before the signal in LA cut off, they heard about evacuation point. They cross flooded streets, avoide debris, submerged cars, and unstable buildings. Glenda struggles with the baby, Marina and Rose argue, and tensions flare. Monica and Lynn suggests using high ground routes to avoid deep water. They reach a mall, now dangerous ruin full of water. They must cross it to get closer to the evacuation site. As they make their way through, Beverly vanishes, falls into a flooded lower level. Realizing Beverly is missing, Jacob doesn't hesitate, dives into the ruins to find her. Finally finds Beverly trapped, frees her just in time, carrying her back to safety. They can't hide feelings anymore. They go toward the evacuation point and became survivors, forever changed by the experience.
