description: WANTED: Men and women willing to drive through the valley of the shadow of death.The worlds population has been decimated by the Change a chain reaction of events triggered by global warming. In Europe governments have fallen cities have crumbled and the wheels of production have ground to a halt. The Alps region containing most of the continents remaining fresh water has become a closed state with heavily fortified borders. Survivors cling on by trading through the Runners truck drivers who deliver cargo and take a percentage. Amid the ruins of central Germany two Runners Cassady and Ghazi are called on to deliver medical supplies to a research base deep in the Italian desert where scientists claim to be building a machine that could reverse the effects of the Change. Joining the pair is a ragtag collection of drivers all of whom have something to prove. Standing in their way are starving nomads crumbling cities hostile weather and a rogue state hell-bent on the convoy's destruction. And there's another problem: Cassady is close to losing his nerve.
