In the post-apocalyptic remnants of Chicago, the warlord who holds Wicker City holds the power.  After years spent surviving in the wastelands, a young woman returns to the city to find answers about her past . Instead she discovers a violently shifting landscape of betrayal and a power-hungry man who, if given control, might be unstoppable.  Wicker City is no place for a lone wolf. Will she choose a side in the city's constant power struggle? Or will she forge her own path?  Blending the ruthless political maneuvering of Gangs of New York with the survival horror of The Last of US, Wicker City paints a picture of mankind not united, but fractured by a monstrous threat.
