Klimatoloog Jack Halli uuringud näitavad, et globaalne soojenemine võib põhjustada Maa kliimas järske ja katastroofilisi muutusi. Puurimine Antarktikas näitab, et see on juhtunud juba 10 000 aastat tagasi. Hall hoiatab poliitilisi juhte vajaduse eest võtta viivitamata meetmeid selle ennetamiseks. Kuid nende hoiatused tulevad liiga hilja. Kõik algab sellest, kui Hall on tunnistajaks Rhode Islandi suurusele jääplokile, mis täielikult Antarktikast lahti murdis. Seejärel hakkavad maakera eri osades ilmnema rida ootamatuid ilmastikunähtusi: greibipallid hävitavad Tokyot, orkaanituuled pühivad Hawaiid, lumi New Delhis ja rida laastavaid tornaadosid Los Angeleses.

Saeko Shirasu is a 25-year-old war front-line photo-journalist who became a celebrity after taking a picture of civilians raising a makeshift UN flag in war-torn Uddiyana. The image then became an instant symbol for peace. However, just before the peace agreement is achieved, the flag was stolen by an armed extremist group in order to obstruct the truce. The UN peacekeepers decide to covertly send in a SDC (pronounced as "Seedac"—Special Development Command) unit to retrieve the flag. Because of her connection with the "Flag" photo, Saeko Shirasu was offered the job of following the SDC unit as a front line journalist. Among the SDC unit's equipment is the HAVWC (High Agility Versatile Weapon Carrier—pronounced "havoc") mecha armored vehicle.

Howard Silk is a lowly cog in a bureaucratic UN agency who is turning the last corner of a life filled with regret when he discovers the agency he works for is guarding a secret: a crossing to a parallel dimension.

November 1947. The United Nations votes the partition plan for Palestine. For some, it is a dream becoming reality; for others, it is the beginning of a catastrophe. Seventy years after this historic vote, the land of Palestine remains an open wound, a battleground for two peoples torn apart by their shared history, a source of inextricable tension in the region and even beyond the borders of the Middle East.
