A well-planned attack on the U.S. leaves the Hawaiian Islands isolated. After enduring a high casualty first wave attack by a Chinese regime, the island regroups and is thrust into a power struggle between the various factions remaining. Power is non-existent and resources scarce. Using a civilian designed closed-loop technology named the "Kapu system," a Hawaiian philanthropist, Ha'a Klien, will attempt to use his family estate's resources to put the islands back together. A race for control of this new sustainable Hawaiian society is on. Inches from martial law and a repeat of Hawaiian history, locals band together in resistance against a leftover military group that no longer answers to the U.S. Government. Every facet of the Hawaiian population will need to learn to work together to avoid a military coup. A war against the snatcher of lands, "Ku-kaili-moku," has begun again.
