A man with surveying equipment is spotted eating lunch near Pokiok Falls. Then an orange-tipped surveyor stake turns up in a farmer's field. What Ruby Carson saw during that fateful day was her entire town - buildings and people - floating underwater. But having a vision and narrating it to the assembled crowd solidifies your status as an outcast. Having a spectacular fall through the ice at a skating party and nearly drowning are grounds for embarrassment. Living with a weird brother in a small town can be tough enough.
