Nicholas, Carlos, Drew, Josh, and Lobo take the trip into the broken United States which is called the Shattered Union now. Along their 30 day hike to Montana, they encounter many things and do what it takes to survive. Each one of Nicholas's friends asks how Nicholas survived the first time he came back from the Unified Korean Federation. And while they travel Nicholas tells them how he survived and teaches his group how to survive along the way while they try to get an army to help fight the last part of the surviving United States and restart the country into the harmonious one that should've been, to begin with.
