Desertion. A crime with only one consequence if caught. Execution. The year is 2026. It's been a decade since the war that ended the world as it was once known. Three years have past since Alex Steadson, his mother and sister, Jessica, were banished to the lowest form of life within their faction, the honorless. Within the honorless, the only available jobs are servants, males may join the army (the only path where regaining honor for your family is possible), and females may go into prostitution. Alex, known best as the son of a deserter, joins the army, hoping to regain his family's honor. But he will soon learn the truth behind his father's desertion.
