Dislocation: Millions Are Fleeing. The Navy Is Coming With Them.

CLIMATE DISASTER HAS DESTROYED INDIA.

NOW ITS PEOPLE ARE COMING.

As storms and drought tear the country apart, millions flee by sea, packed into rusting cargo ships bound for Australia.

But they are not alone.

The vessels are escorted by the Indian Navy.

When the first flotilla approaches Australian waters, Prime Minister Jacqueline Laffite faces an impossible choice: embrace them, or turn them back.

On the front line, naval commander Glen Robertson is ordered to intercept.

One miscalculation could trigger open conflict.

And neither side is prepared to back down.
