  Billy Stone : [narrating]  This land used to be some of the most fertile farmland in the country, though it's hard to believe that now. It's been years since it last rained here. The news called it an "isolated cataclysm" or some shit like that. Means the rest of the world went on living while we were left here to fend for ourselves. Suck the one necessary ingredient for life out of a place, and life seems to leave with it. When the fields dried up and the cattle died, people tried to sell, and the ones who couldn't were left behind. It only took months for us to turn on each other, and, oh, how we did. You can know someone your whole life, but the second it's you, or them, watch how you change.

  Billy Stone : There's always been talk of who's to blame. Some people blame the government. Others think God did this to us. But truth be told, we did it to ourselves. We left this land desolate.
