Topical and terrifying - a dramatic tale of what climate change will inevitably do to our country as we know it. Ten years after the covid trauma, a fresh disaster strikes as weather patterns become more erratic, from extreme heat to long periods of monsoon-like rainfall. Large parts of the earth are regularly inundated and in Britain a flood of apocalyptic proportions brings little respite and the only refuge is high ground.With the country effectively under martial law the rural idyll of architect Adam Woolton’s hilltop home is overwhelmed by unwanted guests fleeing the floods.His chance rescue of a young child left alone in a drowning village and his crazy joke about building an ark bring him to the attention of the army, landing him in unexpected and deadly danger, as he finds himself drawn into a mystery involving the child and her absent mother.Meanwhile the rain is still falling.
