A shattered world; a city on the verge of cataclysmic meltdown; these are the settings for a war of ultimate proportions. Fifteen years ago, a mentally unstable scientist accidentally unleashed a dark force on the world, known to humankind as "Despair". This Despair caused people to kill, cheat, lie, steal, and break down a once-civilized society. Within the Despair rose the first Warriors of Hope, who fought against the Despair with their light of Hope. Now, to take up the mantle of reversing the damage done by not only the Despair, but the war between Hope and Despair, the Future Foundation stands tall. Their goal: take out the Ultimate True Despair hiding in the shadows. Though theirs isn't an easy task. On the other side of the city, a ragtag group of high school students known as the Remnants are trying to survive, and to not succumb to the Despair-infested slums. When their paths cross with the six Future Foundation members, their fate will be determined by the Year of Mutual Killing.
