The tallest building in the world gets caught on fire, after faulty wiring and below-quality standards cause short circuits in nearly every floor. The developer of the building and the architect don't find out until it's too late. The fire is caused by an overload in the electrical system when every light in the building is turned on, to celebrate its inauguration. Mostly everyone who attends a VIP party dies, including prominent figures from society. A smart mouth arrogant fireman is in charge of saving the people trapped in the building.

The premiere party for the world's tallest skyscraper catches fire due to the poor wiring made by a corrupted businessman. A determined fire chief and the architect fight the fire from the outside and the inside respectively. Meanwhile, the fire engulfs floor by floor of the skyscraper, while the owner of the building struggles to find safety for the trapped party. The last hope: to destroy the water tanks at the top of the building.
