When the Flood hits, America’s east coast is evacuated simply by every means possible. Trains, buses, and an unending line of cars head inland. All types of boats and ships assist in rescues along the docks of NY.

Brooklyn paramedic Travis Cooke had dreamed of reuniting his family, but not such as this. Escaping NY with his child as well as the ex-wife he still loves-and her brand-new husband-they find themselves evacuated on the luxury cruise liner, the Festival from the Waves.

Hours later, the Event lies dead in the open Atlantic: no power, no marketing communications, and nowhere near enough food. A large number of evacuees up to speed find themselves only within a big ocean. For all those that escaped the Flood, the nightmare is merely beginning.
