During the year 2019, an unknown strain of influenza ravages the world. Nicknamed StrainK, over the course of four years it depletes the earth's human population drastically. As the death toll climbed fewer people added to society and soon the economy collapsed. Several years after the pandemic the East Coast meets its end. Destroyed by the meltdowns of nuclear power plants, explosions, and chemical fires. These disasters shredded our atmosphere, the amounts of radiation trigger the advancement of global warming. Over time Earth adapts and produces a new climate; with traveling heat waves, radiated plants and animals, and desserts in places that were once fruitful. Earthquakes cause massive tsunamis flooding the outer states, making them extremely harsh conditions to live in. But with the collapse of the old world, came a new one. Now the year is 2090, the world and its survivors have adapted. In WestWorld the survivors are controlled by a selfish Chief of State, and bit by bit the government turns totalitarian. The sovereign and his council are cracking down on the people, people like Jessie and her father. After an accident at the farm, Jessie is forced out of her home. An adventure fueled by revenge, and filled with a horde of obstacles. All the while surviving hostile lands, pig headed men, and the possibility of a second apocalypse... Sounds simple right?

My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.
