Deep in the redwoods

It was like some old WW2 veteran said.. "hatred will naw at you, eat you alive if you're not sane enough. From this kind of rage driven insanity are wars and massacres and psychosis that threaten to end all of us."

It's only been 5 years after the last battle, but the growing tension and dread of the people confirm that the dark days are still here and won't be leaving anytime soon. Of the last of them, there were three kinds:

The Few, the Blooms, and The Govs;
the survivors, the beasts, and the military that is still intact.

For the looks of it, Jesse McCree may as well be the last survivor left. Others being picked off by the blooms almost hourly, dragging them to their nests to be slaughtered and eaten. Things can only turn for the worst before the better when the Govs order a required enlistment for those who still lived into the fight for everyone's lives, ending him up in the very claws of corruption and the embrace of something else he can't quite define.
