Global War Happened. Hell fell off the chains and swallowed the Earth. Cities lie in ruins dusted with the ashes of their inhabitants. But man has not ceased to exist as a species. The surviving representatives of the human clan hid in deep holes, hid and waited. Seventy years have passed since Armageddon. Humanity is gradually finding its feet, learning anew to exist in a changed world, where any settlement is a fortress besieged by a hostile forest, and totalitarian city-states are fighting each other for influence and resources. Stas, a free shooter, whose well-being depends only on him and the faithful machine gun, goes to one of the forts to discuss future work with a potential employer.
