After the nuclear winter, the taint of humanity worsened in the raw blood-quest for survival. Hunger for jack and power now fuels traders and barons, who relinquish authority only through death, crushing everything in their path.Still, a handful seek a better way of life, where iron fists and ordnance are replaced by harmony, justice and fair trade.Separated by fate and a freak storm in the shifting landscape of the Great Plains, the companions find themselves on a path of strange prophecy. Here, Native American tribes embrace a peaceful, sacred way of life the travelers have only imagined.

Hope may be lost for Krysty Wroth. But revenge is enough. In the Deathlands, vengeance is the only justice.
