When cataclysmic storms threaten to engulf the West Coast of America, twelve year old Dan Ryan has no choice but to be evacuated to New York and into the care of his Uncle Jack. And of course that's ok, because it's only for a short while, isn't it? And anyway his mom and dad are going to be evacuated too. They are going to be taken somewhere safe by the army, just like he was, aren't they? Except that he nearly wasn't! And perhaps they won't be either! Ben, Jim-Bob and Katie Collins know exactly how he feels. Forced to leave everything behind them, they too are heading towards a new life. A life that now doesn't include their mom and dad. On the other side of the country, Doctor Georgia Wade and news reporter Jack Ryan anxiously await the arrival of their new charges. The hospital is almost full to overflowing but Georgia reckons that the three children can snatch a few hours sleep in the on-call room, at least until she finishes her shift. Then she can take them to her place and settle them in, can't she?
Jack figures that what with the heavy rain and all, the sports game he was supposed to be covering will be cancelled anyway, leaving him plenty time to settle Dan into his apartment. Won't it? Unknown to each other, this little band of people have no idea that fate is about to throw them a huge curve ball, which will force them into each others' paths and entwine their destinies.
