Young Edwin and his brother ride through the bush to a new home beside a lake in New Zealand, only to be caught up in midnight alarms, a rain of mud, a raging sea and widespread desolation. Separated from their father and short of food, they find an unexpected ally in Whero, a Māori boy, while suspicion and danger close in.
