1997, scientists were attempting a drug in which prevents pregnancy before the age of 18, on May the 24th, they succeeded. They administrated the drug to all 20 year olds and younger. 2002, the underage birthrate has dropped dramatically, but some people are still having unprotected sex, now that the drug prevents pregnancy is not likely to happen. The pregnancy and abortion rate has dropped, but aids and HIV is still an issue. They stopped giving out the pill for a while, The same scientists who created the drug, is trying to create a cure for sexually transmitted diseases, they succeed, however they can only many to distribute this is a gas form. However they, discover that the gas has an unhealthy reaction to CO2, carbon dioxide, this causes a major problem. If someone over the age of 25 breathes in this gas, they catch the disease it is made to prevent.
Luckily the gas isn't distributed, until February the 13th when a suicidal scientist by the name of Arnold Cortuist, having placed gas tanks secretly all over the world, released the gas. Something in the gas modified it, so the symptoms of the disease work quickly, and the adults died quicker, than they would've had they caught it naturally. Eventually after hours of suffering all the adults fell unconscious, never to wake again.
In a once active village called Sherry-ville, the kids are now wandering the town, some of which have formed gangs. The two main gangs are Lithium and Sodium. Lithium led by the boisterous and brave Kasumi, one trying hard to survive and trying to find a cure for this gas which is now residing in the air, all have got used to the curiously different smell. Kasumi and her cousin Lady Angel are trying constantly to survive the attacks of the violent Sodium gang, led by 15 year old, vicious, ex-asylum-resident, French boy, Merritte, who refuses to accept organization and resides in jealousy of the other gang. He is constantly trying to beat Lithium, and being the dude with the more malicious and evil gang sometimes he wins. This is no fairy-tale, people die, people lose, evil is just as likely to triumph.
but....who will?
