In a dystopian, post-apocalyptic America, where catastrophe has been averted entirely due to luck, a small fraction of Humanity suffers in silence - while the rest live free. Those afflicted with the Plague, those known as the Damned, face numerous threats in their struggle for survival. And such threats come from many sources; from the Plague, and from within. None is more familiar with those threats than Jason Thorne, a Mercenary mutated by the Plague and oppressed by the military contractor-turned-dictatorial military force, PINSPOT International. Thorne may be more connected to both of these than he first thought - And he may have to become even more so in order to protect himself. New chapters come at random intervals.
