15 year old, Elek Brookes, must cope with the thought of his best friends getting sent off to go fight the "Homefront War". The drafts were ordered after over ten years of constant house-to-house warfare in mainland United States. Russian nuclear warheads left parts of the country in complete and utter chaos. Eleven years later, Elek, along with childhood friend, Emma Birk, will do anything to ensure the drafts don't rip apart their lives, families, and friendship. Sacrifices will be made, death tolls will rise, and heroes will be born.

They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth.
