Noah's Wife

When Noah's wife arrives with her minister husband to a small coastal town in the Pacific Northwest, she is driven by her desire to revive the congregation, but finds herself thwarted by the resistance of her new neighbors and her failure to realize that her husband is battling his own internal crisis. As Noah and his wife strive to bring the townspeople to the church, the rain intensifies, impeding their efforts. Soon the river waters rise, flooding the streets of the town and driving scores of animals out of the once-renowned zoo. Noah, his wife, and the townspeople must confront the savage forces of nature and attempt to reinforce the fragile ties that bind them together.
