The Barren

Ever since the Outbreak, the elite have ruled like Gods from the sky, while the inhabitants of the Barren slowly fall victim to the creatures of the Outbreak and the now scorched remains of planet Earth. When the Council decides to cease communications with the inhabitants of the Barren once and for all, Ali Krieger, the head councilman's daughter, makes a plea for them to allow her to rescue her brother from the harsh planet she once called home. She is given three weeks to rescue Kyle and return to the main port to be brought back to the lunar paradise she is now all too familiar with. However, even for a councilman's daughter, the mysteries and seductions of the Barren and its human (and not-so-human) inhabitants are not so easily ignored.
