Oxygen is the new currency. Those who have it survive. Those who reject die.
In a cataclysmic disaster, more than 99% of the world's living beings perished, turning existence on Earth into a pointless struggle for survival. The world is fading, and there are just a few cities left. Humanity is about to go extinct.
Kade Casey is a former heroin addict who now works as a rider for hire and resides in a run-down section of a formerly well-connected metropolis. Due to brief memories of happier times, Kade held out a glimmer of hope that he and his ailing mother would be secure one day.
The new assignment Kade has been given by his primary boss, a cruel tyrant who governs the region, is to deliver a weird cargo of immense value to a neighbouring city. The salary is ten times higher than anything I have made at a job before. A tempting offer, but Kade analyses the risks. Numerous dangers can be encountered along the way from armed scavenging groups, the environment, equipment failures, and overcoming physical challenges.
When Kade declines the position, he is attacked and his mother's life is in risk. While he's on the run, a vengeful criminal leader has set a bounty on his head, and knowing the location of a mysterious package might be the only thing keeping him alive.
