With his intense faith in God to drive him, the mysterious Pilgrim has walked over ten thousand miles across the post- apocalyptic wasteland that remains of the Earth. It's now 12-years after 'The Burn,' when the sun enlarged, drying all the world's oceans, sending human civilization into ruin. In his travels, he comes upon a gigantic trench which reaches miles into the ocean floor, where he encounters hellish human vermin which attack and a new group of human survivors looking for a hero.
