Following a cataclysmic event, which killed over 99% of the world's living organisms, life on Earth nothing more than a hopeless struggle to survive. The planet is dying and only a handful of cities around the world remain. Humanity is on the brink of extinction.

Living in a rundown part of town of a once hyper-connected city, recovering drug addict, Kade Casey is a rider for hire. With fleeting memories of better times, Kade clings to a sliver of hope that one day he and his sick mother will be safe.

Kade's main employer, a ruthless dictator who controls the city, has a new assignment for him - deliver a mysterious package of great value to a neighbouring city. The payment is ten times the amount of any previous job. A tempting offer, but Kade assesses the risks. Along the way are endless dangers from lawless bands of scavengers, environmental hazards, equipment failure, and overcoming physical limitations.

When Kade refuses the job, he is beaten and his mother's life is threatened. On the run, a bounty is placed on his head by a vengeful criminal mastermind, the whereabouts of a mysterious package may be the only thing keeping him alive.

In the quiet town of Riverwood, nestled amidst dense woods, thirteen childhood friends once shared a bond that seemed unbreakable. Their camaraderie was forged in the innocence of youth until, at the age of ten, a chance encounter with a ruin in the heart of the forest changed everything. Within those ancient walls, they befriended a spectral presence, a ghost whose ethereal presence captivated their young minds. Tragedy struck swiftly when the ghost, once perceived as a friend, claimed the life of one of their own. Shocked and terrified, the group scattered, their once unbreakable bond shattered by fear and guilt. From that day forward, they vowed never to speak of their haunted past again. Years passed, and though some drifted away, the echoes of their shared trauma lingered in the shadows of Riverwood. As they turned eighteen and embarked upon their senior year of high school, whispers of disappearing townsfolk cast a chilling pall over the once serene community. Alex, one among the thirteen childhood friends, stumbled upon unsettling news: reports of inexplicable disappearances in Riverwood. Each month, another soul vanished without a trace, echoing a haunting pattern from their past. Driven by a sense of foreboding, Alex found himself confronting the specter of their haunted history once more. Amidst the excitement of the annual pep rally, the ghost's voice echoed through the crowd, sending shivers down the spines of the those friends. In that moment of dread realization, they understood that one of their own had become the latest victim of the ghost's vengeful rampage. United by a sense of responsibility and remorse, the group resolved to venture into the heart of the woods, determined to rescue their friend and put an end to the ghost's reign of terror once and for all.
