Siren wail. Drone shot of a drowned delta, current running the wrong way. Diesel is Ray Locke, a levee‑builder turned whistleblower. Gadot is Lina Serrat, a federal hydrologist who found payments labeled “Acts of God.” Together they chase proof that a disaster cartel is selling floods like contracts. Flash cuts: parish pews floating through a church door; a spillway gate “accidentally” opening at noon; chain‑of‑custody drives sealed in epoxy and buried in silt.

Set pieces hit: airboat threading a field of propane tanks in lightning; backhoe vs. armored SUV tug‑of‑war on a sinking levee; neon‑soaked refinery blackout foot chase; tugboat ram into a collapsing causeway; underwater rebar weld as gator shadows pass; a four‑minute oner from motel roof to barge deck while winches scream. “They don’t move water,” Lina says. “They weaponize it.” “Then we turn the river,” Ray answers.

Final sting: the lock booms open; the surge stands vertical like a wall and pivots toward the men who opened it. Cut to black.
