In 1915, San Diego is on the brink of becoming a major American city, if it doesn’t die of thirst first.
Enter Charles Hatfield. He claims a secret chemical process can summon rain, end the drought, and sustain the city as it prepares to welcome the world for a critical international exhibition.
And he’s right.
It rains.
The problem is, it doesn’t stop.
Floods tear through the region. Dozens are dead. Millions of dollars in damage follow. Entire neighborhoods are washed away.
In the aftermath, everything hinges on one impossible question: did he truly believe he was making the rain or was it all a con?
