On August 23, 2037, an asteroid carrying the force of 2.4 million megatons called Apophis 99942 strikes Earth's eastern hemisphere, rendering 30 % of life extinct in 26 seconds. Within one year, 80% of all life has vanished. Darkness blankets the planet, and Earth falls into an impact winter lasting almost 50 years.
Prior to the asteroid's impact, cryogenic Arks were constructed, filled with tools necessary for rebuilding, and buried deep underground in an effort to preserve human civilization. But when survivors begin to emerge from the Arks, they are shocked to find that many humans who were above ground during the impact managed to somehow survive. Horrific mutants roam the dead cities. And most terrifying of all, a mysterious tyrannical government bent on creating a new world order has begun the search-for you.
