A unique telling of the great flood including some very modern elements.

Sandy and Denny, twins, make the mistake of interrupting one of their father's experiments with unusual results. Somehow, the experiment has sent them elsewhere. It is up to the twins to figure out where ... and when.

It doesn't take long for them to figure out that they are in the time right before the great flood. This realization is mainly due to meeting Noah and his family since the world is not what they expected with unicorns and manticores.

The twins face many adventures including escaping from the nephilim the fallen angels, resisting the seductive invitations of Tiglah, saving Noah's unwed daughter and getting back home. They must figure out this strange world before the floods come because they know there will be no room in the ark for them.
