Description taken from Wikipedia:
“The setting is New York City in the near future. A civil war is taking place between the United States of America and the Free States. The Free States are described in the first issue as being “New Jersey and inland,” but no other information is given about them. Manhattan is the location of the demilitarized zone between the two warring parties. In an interview, Brian Wood describes the backhistory as the citizens of Middle America having risen up against the pre-emptive war policies of the US government, causing a Second American Civil War. Manhattan is mainly empty, with only 400,000 people still on the island (compared with 1.5 million in the United States 2000 Census), populated only by the poor, who were not evacuated, snipers and holdouts. Wood has described the setting as: “Think equal parts Escape From New York, Falluja and New Orleans right after Katrina.” The protagonist is Matthew (Matty) Roth, a naïve photo journalism intern from Long Island, who enters the DMZ with a news crew. He becomes trapped when everyone else is killed in a firefight with “insurgents”. Matty becomes the only journalist on the ground in the DMZ and he begins to report on the daily struggle of life for the everyday citizens of Manhattan.”
