Adam survived a car accident that killed his partner, Basia, and his best friend, Kamil. From that moment, Adam, a poet and promising university literature professor, gave up teaching and found work and refuge in a shopping mall. Reading the Divine Comedy and sleeping provide him with respite from the tormenting pain. In his sleep, he can visit a parallel world where he encounters loved ones and ghosts of his imagination. Added to his personal suffering is that of Poland, devastated by natural and political disasters throughout 2010. Adam, like Dante with Beatrice, continues to have one goal before him: to find his beloved Basia.

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.
