In 2020 the world experienced a truly global Pandemic, COVID-19, resulting in billions of people in lock-down, hundreds of thousands of deaths and economic paralysis. Governments told their people that it would end, that a vaccine would be developed and that we would go back to normal. In 2025 things are anything but normal... Brad turned 18 years old just as the pandemic hit and was looking forward to a benign world of adulthood. However, Strain-Z changed all of that and being a 'munie' made his world a whole lot different. In 2025 he's fighting to stay alive, trapped in the middle of a power struggle between the government and the independent communities.
