Pandemics, race wars and civil wars couldn't kill off mankind.
Mother Nature threw them a curveball in the form of an asteroid dubbed Wormwood.
Rather than go quietly into that cold, dark night, mankind pulled together and saved what was left. They not only survived, but they helped to heal the planet and the things that divided them.
But Wormwood delivered a surprise that nobody was prepared for.
As people became infected and slowly began to change, old wounds were reopened and man found himself divided once more.
When the real monsters appeared, people were too distracted with their petty squabbling to realize what was happening.
Nobody knew the truth behind what was happening, either.
