In their desolate and war-torn homeland, Giuliano and his friends must fend for themselves. As they move up the ranks from scavengers to petty thieves, Giuliano grows increasingly uncomfortable with his friends' proclivity for violence-yet he also feels a need to prove himself. When he, Christian, and Stefano are recruited into a militia, Giuliano feels that they've made a terrible mistake, but it may be too late to leave. Pen and watercolor graphics.
