Summary
A nuclear war happened in the past, and though civilisation has since recovered, a number of children have been born with strange symptoms from the radiation released.
Vriska is an ordinary human who finds herself turning into a grey skinned, horned mutant and is taken, along with other mutants, by the Condesce to what humanity believes to be a containment facility, though in reality they are being conditioned into soldiers.
First they are sorted into groups, then Vriska, Tavros and Sollux must fight against seven other mutant teams for the right to enter the Condesce's custody, or they will be killed themselves.The story is sci-fi and dystopian mostly, with adventure, romance and a Battle Royale/Hunger Games feel to it, set on Earth in roughly 2090.

They must fight against one another to crown the best team, a situation only made worse at the invention of the tyrian fog, a drug that causes increased aggression in almost all the mutants, not to mention the meddling to regain the body parts lost in these fights.
But with rumours of an apocalyptic flooding of the planet by the Condesce, time is running out for a chance to escape.The story is sci-fi and dystopian mostly, with adventure, romance and a Battle Royale/Hunger Games feel to it, set on Earth in roughly 2090.
