This story is a long, bleak, gray colored tale of a world lost in destruction. The bond between father and son is explored in the most primitive terms. The depths of human depravity are always on tap. Heart-wrenching, grueling, and dark...yet always with a glimmer of hope. God seems to be far away, yet right there.
