One hundred years after the Big Wet, the Earth is broken-a barren and
infertile world where the few remaining survivors struggle for survival.
When Michael, a scavenger bearing strange gifts, arrives at the shanty
town of Providence, the effects are devastating. Now Michael and the
townsfolk must cross the deadly wasteland to Newbegin, a nearby city
that has sprung from the desolation; but will the city's power-mad
dictator welcome them with open arms or a closed fist?
