‘No Place but the Water' is a speculative drama series that explores what the world might look like after the Western Antarctic melts and also asks questions about how we offer hospitality to refugees, how we live closer to the planet when we are forced to and what exactly becomes vital when very little remains. It captures a magical-realist world that is also filled with ghosts. There is a sense of danger, not only of the rising water but also that some terrible act has already happened on the island before their arrival. The hotel itself is a character, sometimes offering its secrets but also stalking the family with its sighs and bells, secret places and shadows of what happened in the past. Ultimately the family discover that the hotel and the forest beyond it, hold the hope of a new kind of life.

When there is no place but the water, where do you go?

With the arrival of Caleb and Selene to the island the family can no longer ignore the questions that they haven't dared ask: about the hotel; about the forest beyond it; about what happened to the people that were there before; about how everything can't stay the same when the food is running out and the water keeps rising.

And then there's the question of the Angel...
