An adrenaline-fuelled story of lives upended and privilege lost in a swiftly changing world.

Daphne Larsen-Hall has every reason to believe that her life as an artist in a luxury Miami house with her surgeon husband Brantley and their family will carry on forever.

But Luna - the world's first Category 6 hurricane - changes everything. With Brantley missing in the aftermath of the massive storm Daphne and their children find themselves in a vast shelter for the displaced a thousand miles from home their finances abruptly cut off.

As days turn into weeks the family confronts losses and circumstances they never imagined and a world that has changed beneath their feet. When tensions in the shelter reach a breaking point Daphne's resilience is put to the ultimate test as she realises 'normal' will never return - and faces the shocking truths that threaten to tear her family apart once more.
