Deep in the bayous of Louisiana, Edison Dardar arms himself against anyone who tries to move him off the island he loves, as it vanishes into the Gulf of Mexico. He and his neighbors are the first environmental refugees in the continental United States. Yet their crusade to remain on Isle de Jean Charles until its catastrophic end is a testament to the strength of their identity and ancestry, despite the mounting pressures of nature, industry and fellow humans.
