In a time when the world has collapsed and evil roams the land in the form of a group of madmen known only as The Savages, one band of survivors must stand together to find salvation and safety. Hunted by The Savages, Eli, Anna, Rose, and King will have to rely on one another for protection, shelter, and resources if they are to make it to the safety of the walled city in the north. Savages is a post-apocalyptic thriller full of interesting characters and brutal encounters that showcase the depths men are willing to go to in order to have power. In a blend of Mad Max imagery and Wild West shootouts, Savages is unpredictable, horrifyingly possible, and violent.
