Dert

The new Department of Environmental Reclamation and Trust (or DERT) has been empowered by an authoritarian President to take control of the country in the hopes of staving off climate catastrophe. Banning fossil fuels, outlawing vehicles, and violent re-education camps are at the top of their list. It begs the question: are the storms getting worse or is it just the people? In a society that has started to crumble, Kyle and Sami Harrison find themselves on the run. Dodging government agents, warring militias and deranged neighbors, they search for a safe haven in a world that punishes peace and rewards violence. Will salvation be found in the teachings of DERT's Little Brown Book? Or is escape the only solution?
