The Devout is an original, post-apocalyptic horror-sci-fi serial.  It's the near-future in a post-apocalyptic world of dry lakes and dead rivers—even the oceans are rumored empty. Fanatical survivors, known as Papa's Devout, will do almost anything for meat. And they'll do everything to please the mysterious deity known as 'Papa.' Follow Anders, an exiled atheist, and his white mare in a world gone dry. Meet Micah, an 11-year-old-boy with only one true friend in this new world. Two lives in peril—when will they meet? And how? And ask yourself: What would YOU do for meat?
