Full Description
In the near future in Senter City people have put
their complete trust in a man named Sir Pence. Promising to build a huge factory
in the middle of town on the property once occupied by a thriving church, he has
become a savior to people way of life. He controls every aspect of their being,
where they live, what they eat, who they associate with. The people rarely give
it any thought because the economy is booming and they are comfortable. The city
streets however belong to the scavenger gangs and after dark it is no place for
families. Street kids barely in their teens run the night staking their claim to
territiories, scavenging for food and shelter. The middle class retreats nightly
to the safe bubble zones guarded by robot forces.
One man, an old tired preacher has set up
a salvage yard in the heart of the city, looking to make a difference with the
people left behind. A small group of scavenger kids have sought shelter at his
salvage yard. One kid, called frog could be their leader, but he must decide if
he is ready to believe, or would he rather take his chances on the
streets.
