"St. Dimous" is a disaster-thriller script set on the Big Island of Hawaii that blends family drama, environmental conspiracy, and escalating natural catastrophe (inspired by movies like Dante’s Peak and The Big Island’s real volcanic geography).

Main character Roy Ganies (a firefighter/pilot, from the mainland) arrives by small plane with his wife Ellena, young son Bruce for a relaxing Hawaiian vacation. Roy is drawn to the local fireboat crew, while the family looks for a house.

Beneath the idyllic surface, mysterious corporate/military-style offshore operations are underway: strange ships beaching themselves, professional divers, chemists in makeshift labs frantically monitoring something underwater, diesel pollution, and dying sea life. Locals and visitors notice odd seismic activity, bubbling water, and new rock formations appearing overnight.

After the family buys their dream ocean-view home, the truth emerges: the secretive drilling/pumping operation has accidentally destabilized a massive underwater volcanic system. Minor earthquakes quickly escalate into a full-blown volcanic catastrophe—new vents open, lava flows threaten homes, forests burn, sharks are driven into shallow water, and the entire mountainside collapses into a glowing caldera.

Roy, using his firefighting skills, a helicopter, and the fireboat, desperately tries to rescue people while the island descends into chaos. Lava approaches their brand-new house, roads are cut off, and neighbors scream for evacuation.
