But when a winter storm sets in, they decide to risk finding shelter rather than freeze. A friendly coalition in Des Moines, Iowa, welcomes the group into their community. But what's that stench? Nearby, a rival gang is desperate to find food for the pigs they raise for trading. It seems they'll feed the hogs whatever—or whomever—they can get their hands on. Can Malik and company's survival skills help them and their new allies when human lives become the city's most dangerously desired resource?
