Captain Jin Li is a Chinese Special Forces Soldier who is part of a Chinese Invasion force that moves into Cairns on the tail of Cyclone Karen. The Australian Prime Minister is on holiday in Hawaii and no-one else notices that the Country has been invaded. Communications are down and the roads blocked by floods. Captain Jin befriends Andy and his son Jude in Cairns. When the Chinese decide to pull out, Australia is still blissfully unaware that they have been invaded. Captain Jin decides to defect, and stay in Australia, so he asks Andy, Jude, and local First Nations boy Jason for help. They head for Darwin in Andy's car, closely followed by a Chinese Hit Squad. Papua New Guinea boys Tibu, and his Sniper Pal Tibu travel through time from WW2 Rabaul to bring Captain Li's Parents out of China. They are joined by two Thai Monks, all of whom have to deal with Chinese Hit Squads wherever they go. Which includes the Adelaide Hills.
