本剧是NBC颇具震撼力的电视迷你短剧《10.5》（地动天惊）的续集和终结篇。在上一集中，强烈的地壳运动所引发的10.5级恐怖地震毁灭了美国西海岸，改变了地核结构，直接威胁到到北美甚至整个西半球，造成了一系列连锁灾害：夏威夷被海啸吞没，胡佛被摧毁，洛杉矶沉没……《10.5 Apocalypse》（毁灭之日）的视觉效果达到了同类迷你剧中的高水准。　　为了拯救更多的生命、挽救国家，Hollister总统（扮演者：艾美奖和金球奖双料明星Beau Bridges，SG-1 第九季中可爱的将军）决定孤注一掷。他找来全国最顶级也是最有争议的地震学家Samantha Hill博士（扮演者：艾美奖得主Kim Delaney）和她的上司兼前男友Jordan Fisher博士（扮演者：David Cubitt），评估最近一次地震所带来的冲击。Hill绞尽脑汁，没办法弄明白为什么会有持续不断的地震和火山爆发，但她意外发现了也是地震学家的父亲（扮演者：Frank Langella）多年前作出的一个难以置信的假设。如果这个假设正确，将会有更大的灾难到来，北美大陆也将彻底被改变：将被分割成两块独立的大陆。

In a complex tale of interweaving relationships, a Greek immigrant in London explores the meaning of what it is to love and heal. Poised follows the story of Aris, a gay Occupational Therapist who carries the weight of a previous relationship gone wrong. Yet, a chance encounter with Richard seems to allow him the chance to love again. As Aris' relationship with Richard deepens, so too does his friendship with Anna, a patient in his care who suffers from a rare neurological syndrome that leaves her paralysed. Anna recovers the use of her limbs, but finds that she has come to rely on Aris for much more than just his support. In fact, her discovery that her husband has been unfaithful during her illness triggers the realisation that her feelings for Aris are romantic. The ties that bind emotion and propriety begin to unravel, and the tangled net that is woven will hold a secret that will catch them all.
