Sixty years after the toxic smog spread across the globe, the air is still unbreathable. Many alive today have never seen the outside world without looking through a window, or watching a video of times past, of better times on the internet.

As bad as it is, however, they quickly find out it's much, much worse. And it just gets worse, the more they learn of the smog's true purpose.
