Eaglehawk IDC

In 2074, due to years of rising sea levels, a relatively mild tsunami destroys the island nation of the Maldives. Some of the refugees are brought to Tasmania, near Port Arthur, and warehoused in Eaglehawk Immigration Detention Centre, a for-profit facility operated by the private US prison company, Cabey-Yasuda Corrections. To cover the cost of their internment, the detainees are required to work at a manufacturing plant run by the company. Only after paying off their debt can their asylum applications be considered. Among the survivors sent to Tasmania is Yamaan Ali Umair, a Muslim man from the city of Malé. Concurrent to his story is the story of Rin Braden, a Japanese-American woman working for Cabey- Yasuda Corrections.
