After waking with memories of a catastrophic wave swallowing the American shoreline, Victor liquidates his life and joins his father Henry to turn a forgotten polar vessel into a refuge. Ridiculed by the public, abandoned by his bride to be, and hunted by the powerful Cole empire for his inventions, he recruits brilliant minds pushed aside by society. When the ocean rises and private bunkers fail, Victor steers through the wreckage, saves those left behind, and helps build a future beyond the flood.
