A parallel world, beside the one we knew and lived in:
In 1963, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the USSR lauched a nuclear missile at the USA, which led to full-scale war between their two countries. Washington and Moscow were both enveloped in flames, and the two nations were utterly destroyed. The world simultaneously lost the twin pillars of its two leading socio-economic systems, capitalism and socialism, and was left struggling to find a coherent worldview to replace them. Across the globe, there were civil wars, separatist uprisings and attempts by nation-states to assimilate their neighbours by armed force. Finally, utter confusion reigned wordwide, and the earth was threatened with complete nuclear devastation, perhaps even outright destruction of the planet itself...
Forty years have passed, and it is now 2003... The place is Mexico, Mexico City, to which so many people have escaped for refuge from the terrors of war. They have come from all over the world -- South America, Asia, Europe -- and Mexico City is now rich with the cultures of many nations. People once called it "the City of Hope," but it is now a city of nightmares: the streets are completely controlled by gangs that deal in guns, drugs and death.
Whose mistakes put the world in the state it is in today? And who are the rats, now gnawing the life out of this city? I, for one, have not yet given up hope for a better life! I'm going to smash the elements of evil, of confusion and destruction, and find the light of hope for all humankind once again!
