The Drowning City
The Drowning City is a high-stakes, visceral disaster thriller centered on the relentless bond between a parent and child. When the hundred-year-old Mason Dam violently collapses, millions of gallons of churning water swallow the valley city of Blackwood in minutes. Amid the sudden chaos of floating debris, downed power lines, and rising torrents, Arthur-a fifty-year-old carpenter-grabs a worn kayak and sets out into the submerged urban grid. His target is St. Jude’s Elementary, sitting in the lowest basin of the city, where his nine-year-old daughter is trapped. Driven purely by grit and endurance, Arthur must battle the freezing currents of a dying city before the flood claims everything he has left.
