We investigate the Shaw family, the last family to leave the doomed village of Flagstaff, Maine before it was flooded to make space for Maine's growing hydroelectric power grid. But what if the Shaws never left? What could have made them stay despite assured  destruction? And what does it have to do with a strange creature Olin Shaw may have encountered years before?

Content Warning: flooding, death, death of children, cryptids, workplace accidents, bodily mutilation, drowning, strange religious beliefs
