The family is split up, as they are swooped away by the giant wave. Maria and Lucas fight through the currents to stay together. Maria’s leg is severally injured. Lucas helps her as they struggle to make their way through the debris. They see a tree and climb it for shelter and safety encase another wave comes.

When he returns to his mom’s bedside, she is no longer there.

He searches every hospital and camp. As he searches the last hospital, he sees his boys off in the distance. The family happily reunites and waits while Maria has surgery. After surgery, she is transported to a hospital in Singapore where she recovers.
