The Dystopian Future There is a story told by the scarred ruins of civilization, pieced together by some survivors yet understood by few. Generations ago, an infection spawned and raged out of control, a wildly mutating disease capable of raising the dead and turning their insatiable hunger against the living. Governments turned their devastating weaponry against their own people, transforming suburbs into war zones and reducing cities to rusting skeletons of steel and broken glass. First the war was waged on the undead hordes, then against fellow survivors over dwindling resources as the world burned and society collapsed. The world drowned in blood while nuclear fires burned the atmosphere in a desperate effort to turn the tide and save the few remaining holdouts. The age of culture and plenty ended heralding the true test of survival to come in this dystopian wasteland. Tribeca Rockaway was raised on the ruined rooftops of Old York, a blooded member of the Dead Heroes gang and a hardened killer even by that city's brutal standards. She took on a delivery run for the notorious Broadway Jack, only to find half the city hot on her tail, desperate to claim his mysterious package for themselves. With help from her fellow gang member Jimmy Three Ex, Rockaway barely escaped Old York, headed down the coast to the glittering city of Aysea to make her delivery. It's a place where fortunes are won and lost on a roll of the dice, where thousands of slaves support the pampered lives of a wealthy few, and where Rockaway finally hopes to put this business behind her. And if she can survive deranged cultists, mutant animals, seductive spies and of course the ever-present threat of the undead, she just might get her wish. It's time to ante up, and play the hand she's dealt.
