The year is 2807. AI and robots have slowly filled all the normal, everyday jobs, pushing more and more people into poverty. The one place where people are safe is the capitol, where the government officials and their families live a life of luxury, a stark contrast to the poverty and the struggle outside the city's walls. People have joined into clans, groups of people who survive by scavenging, and where only the strong are allowed to stay. Sarah is a stray, kicked out of her previous clan, who struggles everyday to get by. Can Sarah survive on her own, or will she finally find a place to belong?

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
