The premise, in the publisher's words
Only 3000 humans remain after three apocalyptic events, referred to as the "Catalysts", severely decreased the population.

Oliver Naut is a scrappy kid who has grown up alone in the Deadzones — the most toxic areas on the planet — with nothing but the robotic swords in his arms for protection. But now he's teamed up with Namo, a skilled ex-assassin, to prevent an army of robotic soldiers from falling into the hands of the organizations, who will only use them for more violence and death…
