New York City, NY - October, 2019
Manhattan has always been a symbol for America; in better times of its power, magnificence and influence. Now it is a reminder of all that has been lost.
Huge areas of the city have been abandoned by the city’s sadly diminished public servants. In these areas, others have been quick to capitalize on the void left by law, service and government. Gangs dispense crime and justice at will, and the populace lives in constant fear.
There are also the Open. Though born like any one of us, each has come to possess an ability beyond human capability. Each is as individual as their gift, and they have banded together under the first of them, Calliope, to save who they can from death, or worse, in the city they love.
But where they go, they are followed by the others. Each with power to match their own, these masked villains are everything that their counterparts are not. They sow discord, rage and ruin indiscriminately.
Someone has just awakened to the knowledge that she has gained, or earned, or been given one of these abilities; that she now is one of The Open. What it is, and what she will do with it, remains to be seen… |
