Five years ago, in the Prime Universe, the advent of quantum computing led to complete socioeconomic calamity. The Internet is now a thing of the past, and the online-addicted masses have taken it... poorly.

It's a madcap adventure that writer Dalton Deschain describes as "Children of Men meets Smokin' Aces meets Rat Race!"
