Civilisation is dead, it has been washed away in a huge flood and humanity is on the verge of extinction; it is not all bad though, there are still four human beings left alive in a pedalo, four human beings from very different social backgrounds, four separate personalities and outlooks. Let’s face it the future, unless they can come to some sort of compromise as they float on the high seas, unless they can agree on the prospect of their lives, then humanity is as washed up as seaweed on an icy shoreline.
