A massive storm was coming straight for Mama's little
plot of land in the
Mississippi Delta
and there was no way any of them could outrun the
weather. For three years Melody Mahaffey has been on the road,
touring as a
keyboardist with a terrible
Christian pop band she can hardly stand. So when her
mother calls, full of her
usual dire news
and dramatic pronouncements, Melody is relieved to pack
her bags and call it
quits. But at the
sprawling, defunct Three Rivers Farm her family calls
home, Melody is
shocked to discover her
father is dying. Even worse, her mother has abandoned the
family, leaving
Melody the sole
caretaker of her father and brain-damaged brother. Sure
that her daughter
will do the right
thing, Geneva leaves to seek spiritual guidance and break
things off with her
long-time lover. Rain begins to fall and an epic flood threatens the
Mississippi Delta. While
Melody tries to get a
handle on the chaos at home, a man and his little boy
squat on her land,
escaping their own
nightmare. Obi is on the run from a horrific mistake, and
he's intent on
keeping his son with
him at any cost. When the storm arrives, though, they
have no choice but to
take shelter in
Melody's house. And the waters just keep rising. A lifetime of lies, misunderstandings and dark secrets
bubble to the surface as
the flood
destroys the land and threatens their lives. Set against
the fertile but
dangerous landscape of the
rural south near the fictional town of White Forest,
Mississippi, Three Rivers
beautifully weaves
together three parallel stories, told over three days, as
each character is
propelled headlong into
the storm.
