Summary

"Citizens of New Sanford...It looks like it's going to be a rough one, there is going to be mild to high tides today and we may even see some minimal flooding..." They were told it was only to be a high tide day, with flooding in some areas, but the people of New Sanford got a whole lot more. The residents of New Sanford initially brushed off the news report, along with Jenna Smith who staunchly denies anything that seems impossible. But then it happened - large waves began to crash against the city's shores, only to escalate into a monstrous tsunami that devastated everything in its path. Within a matter of days, the temperature takes a dramatic turn and drops to subzero levels. A powerful snowstorm unleashes its fury, threatening to freeze anyone in its path within seconds. And just when it seems like there's no reprieve, the heat skyrockets to dangerous levels, melting all the snow and drying up the city completely. As the city falls into ruin and sand begins to cover its once-familiar landscape, Jenna sets out on a desperate search for her sister and parents. The place she grew up in is now unrecognizable, destroyed by disaster. Left to fend for themselves, what options do the remaining survivors of New Sanford have?
