Where we are now

In 2070, American is no longer what it used to be. With only fifteen states on the east coast, it is crowded and overpopulated. On the rise is a new species called Genes and with humans scared of what they don't understand, Genes are locked away and tortured their whole lives. Until one day a group escapes from a Gene institution and flees to the west, where a dangerous wasteland and deadly people lie between them and the new world.
