A global flood destroys all mankind. An eyewitness account of the Great Flood from the book of Genesis, as it was lived by a woman named Nela, the wife of Noah's youngest son. Nela's apocalyptic vision is a trip back in time, to the end of the first age of human history. Burdened by revelations of human depravity, Nela paints a picture of man's impending judgment by God, as foretold by human behavior. Her view of a doomed world is filtered through her own tragic homelife, and the disturbing relationship with her mother and sister. Nela uncovers the truth from her mother's private life, as it parallels events in the lives of others, on the eve of mankind's darkest hour.
