In the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami, Abdullah evicts the inhabitants of Aizat's village to build more hotels on their land.

Together, they go and meet Helena Bayliss, runner of charity Guilt Trips, journalist Hugh Verhoeven, and former arms salesman Dion Frei, who are working to discredit Abdullah.
