In 1997, in a ruined post-apocalyptic world, the Kid survives on his own through drought-ridden nuclear winter, traversing the Wasteland, scavenging for scraps to trade for a scant supply of water. When his chipper, pink-haired new best friend Apple is kidnapped by a minion of evil overlord Zeus, the kid summons the courage of his comic book hero and prepares to deliver turbocharged justice to Zeus.
