In 2087, coastal flooding and extreme changes in the weather have turned the United States into a nation of migrants and tent cities. In this environment, three family groups struggle with their plights and their dreams for the future. They come together from different parts of the nation when they hire illegal traffickers to take them across the border with Canada where they will live as illegal immigrants. Crossing is not an easy task because Canada has established a border wall, both physical and electronic. The wall is constantly patrolled by low-flying drones and satellites. The traffickers take them to a crossing point in remote parts of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana from which they will attempt their crossing. In making the crossing, some are successful, and some are not, but even for those who succeed, life is not what they had hoped it to be.
Three government scientists go rogue and run an experiment designed to reduce the gestation period of the human race. The experiment goes terribly wrong and results in two babies being murdered. A young woman reporter investigates the crime to help unravel the mystery of all that happened while the youngest of the three scientists, innocent of the murders, is embroiled in the turmoil that ensues. The tragedy comes to the attention of the local congressman and results in a congressional hearing to find out why government oversight failed during the events of the experiment and its aftermath.
When the rising ocean, in the year 2086, engulfs the last vestiges of the Jamestown Visitors Center and drowns its manager, his wife, Margrethe Bernard takes her children away from the threatening sea and memories that haunt her and moves inland to temporarily live in a tent city of migrants. There, the source of her nightmares returns to threaten her. As the tent city moves south for the winter, she abandons the other migrants to try to escape her past, but in a raging hurricane, the past finds her. In the turmoil that follows, nature intervenes to destroy her pursuer, and she finds love, hope, and redemption.
