Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.

As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

Pictures and videos of weather-related items, along with pages from the magazine article about Kate Carter written by Ben (the English reporter) are shown. Later, we see the beginning of an article announcing a new partnership between Javi, Kate, and Tyler. Also mixed in are snippets featuring the rest of the storm chasers. The snippets end with Kate asking Tyler if she can get her face on a t-shirt. Ben says he’d wear one, and Tyler jokingly tells him to take it back.
