This is a story about ordinary people who find themselves in the midst of a devastating hurricane right in the middle of the North Sea. A monstrous storm is approaching the coasts of the Netherlands and Belgium. The authorities have decided not to declare an evacuation of the citizens, and when the sea water suddenly starts flooding nearby towns and villages, it becomes too late to try to fight it: the dikes cannot handle it, and people are unable to stop the water. The townspeople are in despair. The water destroys everything in its path with unimaginable force.
