Van Mosley is a small time, small-town banker in Orange, Texas, who has a comfortable, but going-nowhere life. He serves on several local charitable boards, including the Orange Chapter of the American Red Cross. The office of the Red Cross is located across the street from his home. For 3 weeks this the chapter has been the site of a full-sclae recovery/refugee operation as thousands of refugees of Hurricane katrina pur over the Louisiana border into this border town. Now, inder beauitiful blue skies, Van and Martin Robertson, the Red Cross President, discuss what looms just days beyond the horizon. Another hurricane, this one potentially stronger than Katrina, and headed directly for them. Katrina, a curse to Louisianans, will becomes somewhat of a blessing to southeast Texans. Historically unheeded warnings from officials to leave when hurricanes threaten are taken seriously after the citizens of Orange realize that theses deadly storms are forces with which to be reckoned. Van does not want to leave, nor does his wife, but they have childeren to consider, and make an early decision to evacuate. All that is left is the preparation and the wait. After talking to his brother on the phone, it is agreed that Van should bring his father along with him. Knowing that the extra person will require a second vehicle, he then decides to ask his stepfather to join them in the evacuation. Somewhat devilishly, he arragnes for the two older men to ride together alone in a truck. The two men were once married to Van's mother, who has died just four months earlier. They have rarely talked, and have never liked each other. As they begin their evacuation from Orange to San Antonio, they fell as if an adventure has just begun. Shortly after they set off, they are entangled in a traffic jam of historical proportions. The next tweny hours will be hell on wheels. It will be frightening for Van ans his wife, and worse for the two fathers as they realize this will not be a quick trip......
