Plot

The US east coast is suddenly struck by a type of a massive destructive force of nature usually only happening after a major earthquake in the Pacific and Indian Ocean rims: tidal waves of the destructive tsunami type. Scientist and fiction author John McAdams is forced to attend a type of Department of Homeland Security conference which concludes the phenomenon must be man-made, quite possibly abusing the findings of John's secret former Sea Lion project, but leaves questions of who wants to and has the means unanswered. Indeed, John and his colleague Sophie, a Québécois, soon find John set up for a murder of a potential whistleblower and are pursued by The FBI, Maine State Police and a pair of foreign ruthless assassins. Major destruction means major contracts for construction and coastal defenses, so building tycoons like Victor Bannister certainly have a considerable interest. The movie is two part mini-series originally aired in The UK. Sophie (Karine Vanasse), a very successful Québécois Canadien actress and singer but generally unknown to viewers outside of Canada and France, was recently cast as a lead in the American ABC TV series "Pan Am."

gollark: I don't think the contract restricts data use at all.
gollark: At home I can happily use terabytes a month and BT cannot stop me, muahahaha.
gollark: On my phone.
gollark: On my mobile phone contract I do NOT pay per megabyte *directly*, but I only get 8192MB per month, so I have to use it somewhat carefully and dislike it when sites just try and shove a video or image into the background for no apparent reason.
gollark: The internet connection has been bad. Blame [REDACTED] Telecom.
