'The world ended in 1964 and was reborn in 1974. Oscar lives in Terratoria, a city run by the NFT (New Fathers of Terratoria), who enforce the religion of Zyrelism and hunt down nonconformers. Living in a precarious balance between starvation, drugs, and death, Oscar manages to survive. Until the day he finds himself outside the NFT's protection, thrown into a wasteland destroyed by nuclear war, famines, fanatics and mercenaries. And then he begins to ask himself; is the watchful eye of Zyrel really as bad as he had always thought?'
