The Capital Wasteland is a harsh and unforgiving place, with its inhabitants fighting for control over what little remains after the bombs fell. Most of these people are Raiders, a group of sadistic anarchists who torment and often kill their fellow men, having lost all traces of civilization.

Among these Raider bands is a particularly powerful group called the Marauders, led by the charismatic and equally psychotic Lupo, who has recently captured someone of great importance, but isn't even a native of the Capital Wasteland or even this world. . .
