Michael Reznik is a soldier who wakes up in a mysterious underground bunker, with a technologically advanced body he doesn't recognize. The people around him have cast aside fighting and warfare. They haven't needed them--until now.

Skin City: a festering blight of depravity and crime where those who hit rock bottom end up--yet at the same time a high-tech jewel, the last refuge of high society in the desolate wasteland. It is a discordant place, beckoning all with the promise of satisfying any desire. The path to Skin City can lead to ruin or redemption; the outcome depends on what one seeks.

Skin City has been liberated, offering a flicker of hope to all who live in the wasteland--hope that times are changing. But it has been a Pyrrhic victory, coming at great cost to the few who remain and seek to carry on the fight. War looms on the horizon as the survivors now seek to take the fight against the overwhelming might of Thorne Industries.

Time is running out for Michael Reznik as he searches for a way to deactivate his body's kill switch before his time literally expires. Reznik makes his way to the surface with the mysterious Rin as his guide and discovers a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is brutal and unforgiving, a land totally foreign to the country he knew.
