A Sunday Stroll Through Hell

The year is 2036. Six months ago, the world as we knew it came to a sudden and violent end. Starting with an American invasion of Canada, the third world war would be beginning. After four years of stalemates on all fronts and the threat of internal collapse China would unleash the most powerful weapon in its arsenal; an orbital kinetic weapon system known as the Earthbreaker. The United States would return with its nuclear arsenal, followed by the other great powers.
Dmitri is a survivor of the Last War. He fled his home in Yekaterinburg before it was wiped from the map. He however in his flight became separated from his fiancé, Anna. The hope of one day being reunited with his love keeps him motivated to make it another day. Having essentially turned to banditry in order to meet his needs, this hope of love allows him to cope with the realities of his circumstances. The audience will witness the culmination of Dmitri’s efforts to survive in the Ural Habitable Zone. Will karma finally catch up with Dmitri, or will he continue to survive long enough to be reunited with the woman he loves.
