Chain Reaction

Eddie Kasalivich, a student machinist, discovers how to obtain energy from burning hydrogen while working from home. His breakthrough leads to the realization that only water is left as a residue, marking a significant advancement in energy science.

The following day, Eddie brings his discovery to the lab and, along with his team, perfects the machine designed to generate energy from hydrogen. The atmosphere is celebratory as they finally achieve stability in their experiments.

To celebrate their success, the team throws a party in the lab. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and optimism as everyone revels in the accomplishments made in energy research.

After the party, Dr. Lily Sinclair faces an unexpected problem when her car battery dies. Eddie offers to help, but while they are away, Dr. Lu Chen is abducted by unknown assailants in the lab, leading to a life-threatening situation.

Eddie returns to the lab after ensuring Lily gets home safely, only to discover a suspicious van leaving the area and alarms ringing from within. Rushing inside, he finds Alistair Barkley unconscious and Chen missing, adding to the chaos.

Eddie realizes the hydrogen reactor is unstable and attempts to regain control but is locked out of the system. Realizing the imminent threat, he flees on his bike, just moments before a massive explosion obliterates the lab and nearby streets.

In the aftermath of the explosion, Eddie is questioned by police and later the FBI. They seek answers about the blast, leaving Eddie feeling cornered and bewildered by the unfolding events.

Eddie and Lily start to suspect they are being framed when fake evidence appears in their homes. Realizing the danger they are in, they decide to go on the run, seeking safety and answers.

The duo seeks refuge at an observatory owned by Maggie McDermott, an old friend of Eddie's. They regroup and strategize while remaining vigilant against further threats.

Eddie and Lily attempt to contact Paul Shannon, the project's chief financier, for assistance. However, their communication draws unwanted attention, leading to another close encounter with danger.

At a meeting with Lyman Earl Collier, Paul reveals the truth about the conspiracy against Eddie and Lily. The confrontation turns hostile, resulting in Lily's capture while Eddie narrowly escapes.

Eddie traces the license plate of the ambushers to the C-Systems Research facility. Seizing the opportunity during a reactor failure, he sneaks inside to rescue Lily and Chen.

During his confrontation with the C-Systems board, Eddie strikes a deal for his freedom while sabotaging the reactor. He sends crucial evidence of his innocence to the FBI just before setting the reactor to explode.

Eddie and Lily show incredible resourcefulness as they manage to escape from the impending reactor explosion. They navigate through chaos, narrowly avoiding death as they confront security personnel.

As the FBI arrives, they take Eddie and Lily to safety, finally convinced of their innocence. Paul exits the scene, leaving behind a trail of deceit, as he plans his next move regarding C-Systems.
