"In this world, nothing is ever as it seems..."
In 2071, the world burned.
Nations collapsed, anarchy reigned then nuclear fire consumed the Earth, leaving only ash, ruin - and a few survivors. John Walker managed to drag his two sons, Ben and Clay, into a Visr Corp cryo-bunker, sealing them away from the apocalypse just in time.
When they awoke in 2159, the planet was unrecognizable - a deadly wasteland where survival is a daily struggle. John led his boys from the bunker, through the wasteland to Detroit, a fortified city that somehow escaped the bombs. Behind its giant wall, life was harsh but livable.
Sixteen years later, Ben and Clay are hardened men, shaped by the brutal lessons of the wasteland - and by their father's strict, iron will. But there's one problem... John has been missing for over a year.
Now, one job - a simple run, or so the brothers think - will pull them into a deadly chain of events. Secrets buried since the end of the world are about to surface, blood will be spilled, and the revelations could change Detroit forever.

"Finally, I could get a look at his face as his eyes scanned over the landscape and it wasn't long before his eyes met mine.
Ba-dump.
I felt my heart thump in my chest. I stared openly at him. My eyes wide and full of curiosity and anticipation. He was everything that I had been searching for.
I lifted my hands when I saw his grip tighten on his knife and showed that I was not going to attack him and meant no harm. But his green eyes only narrowed with skepticism and suspicion.
He looked like he was ready to kill me, while it was all over for me, I was beginning to believe in the corny idea of love at first sight. I was already set on capturing his heart and becoming his partner.
He was perfect."
