Following a global economic meltdown, hostilities mounted between the East and the West culminating in a Second Cold War. The Asian superpowers eventually severed most trade links with the UN, broadening the East's monopoly on world manufacture and trade and resulting in frozen foreign assets, heated dispute over goods and oil shortages. In the global turmoil, sporadic cases of societal breakdown cropped up worldwide, even to the extent of pockets of civilisation secluding themselves from others. With rule of law having been stripped of all credibility and the old times becoming more ethereal each passing second, people fight over diminishing resources as society and nature crumble to dust.
With the world already on the brink, a localised explosion occurs in Manchester, causing a calamitous uproar in the world stage. Then it happened. Noone, save a few, know exactly who started it, but all we do know is that the world has changed. Ravaged and war torn by weapons of untold annihilation, the remnants of humanity try to rebuild the broken world or, naturally, fight for what little remains. War never changes. A journalist bereft of his family, searches helplessly for reclamation when he finds a wandering soul who takes him under his wing upon recognising the journalist’s tenuous mental state. He too is emotionally damaged but, somehow, they make a perfect unity. The two plan to escape the quarantine but what they soon unravel is a myriad of lies, corruption and insanity.
