Tirja is now on the brink of despair after the inherited business from his late father collapsed under his care. At the same time, his younger sibling, Marni, never hesitates to blame him, calling Tirja a burden on the family. As the one-year anniversary of his father’s death approaches, Tirja tries to find purpose by attempting to catch a big fish from the river where he usually escapes from his problems at home. However, the river holds deeper secrets than he imagined, as he frequently encounters a mysterious old man who offers him an unexpected way out.

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.
