Warning to Readers: This story contains scenes with graphic material unsuitable for some readers and anyone under the age of 18. Please beware there are scenes with violence and sexual content some readers may not be comfortable reading. What is a ReGenesis? Is it a "do-over"? Is it the ability to correct a mistake, or does it mean entirely starting over? Could it mean a divine intervention? Maybe it's a little of it all, but whatever it is might not be able to fix the burdens and mistakes off long ago when it comes to Josh, James, & Justin. Errors and events left unsettled have come home to roust with one final battle to determine the outcome, but this time the price might be too much to handle. Can the trio overcome the odds once & for all? Are they doomed to settle debts with their lives? How will their epic journey end & how will a ReGenesis occur in the end to create a brand new beginning? When Josh and Justin worked in the underworld of a chop-shop a mysterious figure returns to exact their revenge. All of their hard work is about to be undone, and a powerful and dangerous person takes control with everyone's lives hanging in the balance. This time not everyone comes home in a manner of speaking. Things change, and the mind is a treacherous friend when they all realize what happened and how the Troublesome Trio came back from the brink of disaster in such a way that can only be described as ReGenesis, or more commonly known as that rare thing called a second chance, at life.

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
