It is a dangerous, divisive time. A far-right political candidate, Earl Turner, is seeking the presidency and stirring up hatred against minorities everywhere. The X Gang, meanwhile, have lost one of their friends to that presidential candidate-- and are encountering manifestations of hate practically everywhere they go. As Turner captures supporters and seems to rise unstoppably, the X Gang are resisting as hard as they can. New Dark Ages is about surviving in a nasty, brutish, and short-sighted time-- and whether one should just go along, or fight back. The X Gang fight back.
