Four characters with strong personalities and different stories that occasionally intersect, "For the Waters are Come" tries to hold on to their wanderings, desires, and misadventures, converging in the Great Flood of 1629. The power of its waves will alter their lives and ours, for we stand on the backs of our ancestors.
