Introduction
The remains of a third-world war beginning in the year 2048 bring to focus the town of Glass Heights, a once bustling urban jungle in the United States, which has now diminished to the epicenter of the surviving world. With nuclear weapons being a driving force in the world, much else of once existing life on the planet has wasted away.
There are two kinds of people: those who fight ruthlessly to stay alive, and those of a much, well, "different" kind. Those that are a species of all their own. The effects of radiation coming from powerful gamma rays ,emitted from the atomic bomb, cause an immense mutation of a large and isolated population that have now spilled over into Glass Heights. These people, or "fallouts" as they are informally known, now consist of over 30% of the city's population. Feeding on nothing but human flesh, blood and bone marrow, these relentless mutants do whatever they can to get a hold of the remaining inhabitants. However, as agonizing as it may seem, most would rather be devoured alive by a fallout than live to see their new fate by escaping an attack. Radiation transfer can occur from a single bite and starts immediately. Flash burns begin covering the body, searing the flesh and not long after, cell mutation begins. By the time the whole process is completed, after four hours or so, the human has been mutated completely into a fallout.
Aside from constantly struggling against a mutated race, the citizens of Glass Heights must also deal with the wars waged between each other. With no government in place, it is a truly dog eat dog world in which most choose to carry multiple weapons just to step outside of their dead-bolted homes. Friends can quickly become enemies. Families turn against one another. No one can be trusted.
We have all become desperate and ravenous.
