The camera pans over a world reclaimed by nature, crumbling skyscrapers swallowed by vines. Mutants and humans coexist in fragile tension. Inside a looted convenience store, dust motes dance in the slanted light. John Price, a towering figure of scarred muscle and gruff determination, moves with predatory grace. He scans the empty shelves, his cigar unlit but present. A sound from behind the counter breaks the silence. He draws his pistol, the metallic click echoing in the dead air. Peering over the edge, he doesn't find a human or beast, but a hybrid, curled and armed with a knife. Their eyes meet in the gloom, two survivors claiming the same scrap of survival.
