About

The beginning of the apocalypse, known in Germanic mythology as the time of the wolves; an unspecified industrial catastrophe destroyed the world. Like many others, Anna and her family flee the city for the countryside to escape the pervasive chaos. But she quickly and painfully becomes convinced that there is no escape. Deprived of their possessions and all the advantages of civilization, the people band together to survive. Anger, violence and murder become legitimate means to preserve their own lives.
