Vivimor is a strange city that has seen its share of troubles. It's walled off by U.N. Decree, ruled by a dictatorial military force, riddled with gangs slowly being welded into a revolutionary army, and plagued by unprecedented diseases that play havoc with the human body. It's been twenty years since the Kopelsburg Defensive Field spared the rest of the United States the fate of California Ñ transformation into a decaying wasteland inhabited only be the twisted mockeries of once-living things Ñ and the world still watches Vivimor with bated breath, waiting to see what will happen next.
Now an all-too-human monster stalks its streets, leaving chewed corpses in his wake, and the only ones with a chance of stopping him are seven young men and women, all born in Vivimor and bound together by chance and choice and their wanderings across their remarkable city.
