A pandemic plague has left the human population of Earth on the brink of extinction. The sparse survivors live in tiny hamlets as they try to re-build some semblance of society. A wandering junk salvage trader is picking up the pieces of his shattered life by roaming the new American West and plying his trade. He has avoided trouble the several years since the fall of civilization, but when the barbaric hordes of this no-man's land begin to encroach upon his new home and the people he has come to know and care for, he must make a choice...move on and leave the settlements to their fate, or embroil himself in the conflict and risk his own life.
