A country perishes, but love prevails.

Denmark, in a not-too-distant future. The rising water levels can no longer be ignored and the country needs to be evacuated. As people disperse in all directions, they must bid farewell to what they love, what they know, and who they are.

In a flash, everything is different. All property becomes worthless, all fortunes change, and luck favours only a few. Those who can afford it travel to affluent countries while the less well-off depend on government-funded relocation to more challenging destinations. Families, friends, and loved ones are separated. Some will be overcome by hatred and division while others will nurture love and foster new beginnings.

Against this backdrop we meet Laura, a high school student in love for the first time and on the brink of graduation. When news of the evacuation breaks, the course of Laura and her family's lives are changed forever.
