Narrator: "At that time in my personal life, I was coming to grips with the end of the world....Scientists said it was ending now....Historians said there'd been dark ages before. It all came out in the wash, because eventually.... enlightenment arrived and then a wide array of Apple devices..." LOL

Basic Plot: A bunch of parents who've given up on doing anything about climate change hole up in a fancy lake house with their teen kids. An extreme storm approaches. The parents continue smoking, drinking and screwing while the kids explore the outdoors and confront what their parents cannot.

Maybe the coast, so naturally changeable, has a thing or two to teach us about adapting to future uncertainties. It’s a place where if we watch a grain of sand travel, or trace a contour, we can learn new things, and be renewed.

From my library of stories after 30 years on the environmental beat.
