In the heat of late summer, two New Orleans families-one black and one white-confront a storm that will change the course of their lives. SJ Williams, a carpenter and widower, lives and works in the Lower Ninth Ward community where he was born and raised. Across town, Craig Donaldson, a Midwestern transplant and the editor of the city’s alternative paper, faces deepening cracks in his family. When the news of the gathering hurricane spreads-and when the levees give way and the floodwaters come-the fate of each family changes forever.
