A natural disaster has befallen the city which has separated the Lost Children from their families. As they search the desolate area they come across the Water Diviner, who feels he has failed his task of following the water and telling its stories. The city's leaders have ignored his warnings and so disaster has struck. But as he talks to the Lost Children, the Water Diviner starts to think that these may be the people he has been looking for to help him change the future.The thought re-animates the Water Diviner and he sets out to tell the Lost Children his tale, whilst 'casting' them into the story as he goes along.
