It is the near future and the world has become crowded, warm and sick. Persistent pandemics and climate change have bankrupted most of the world governments. Banks and businesses have coalesced into superentitys with almost limitless power and private armies.
As the superentitys only care about their own continual growth, the common person is left to survive on their own. The rule of law has reverted back to the rule of man. To survive, you need either people you can trust on your side or power – which usually comes in the form of a smoking gun.
This is where YOU come in. The only thing separating you from the corpses at the mass graves is the will to live and the few friends you really trust. The climb from the warrens to the upper echelons of power will be long and perilous, but if you make it, you can have a hand at deciding the fate of our collective futures.
