During the past hundred years, the human species has contaminated, evaporated and poisoned most of the fresh water on the planet. Over the past twenty years, Earth has become warmer. Some argue it's a natural phenomenon. Most, however, believe human recklessness has brought us to the verge of catastrophe. In the near future, the ice caps have melted. Coastlines are underwater. Billions are dead. The rest are dying. And the world hasn't seen rain in over a year. Those who have survived face a world without power, fuel or food. You are one of the survivors. It's been six months since the lights went out. You've buried your family in shallow graves. The United States has become a wasteland. The only food and drink you can find, you need to fight for.And suddenly a voice on the radio tells you they've got the power on. They have running water. And they're going to start over again. But the more you learn about who these people are, the more you realize survival comes at a cost. What would you do to survive?Who would you kill? What would you give up for a drink of water?The end of the world is just the beginning.
