Darby Carter lives on her grandfathers ranch in Hawaii and is in the process of training her mustang filly Hoku. She's also going on a camping trip on the slopes of a nearby volcanoe for a school project with her friend Ann Potter and her cousin Megan. But shortly before the trip, earthquakes rock the little island and the volcanoe doesn't look to calm.

Then when the volcanoe does erupt Darby has to trust her filly to carry her out of the lava's path.
