Jalen Riviere, a fifteen year old highschooler, must use his wits and skills from home in order to survive in his new environment-a desolate and alien megacity. Far from earth and teeming with viscious, inhumane creatures, Jalen scavenges for food, fights off the flesh eating natives, and must try and protect his own humanity from the city that longs to take it from him, all the while searching for his younger sister- who he believes was taken from their home.
