The 'Skirts is the story of two young women in a post-apocalyptic world, and their struggle to survive against the only surviving city, now a fascist regime.
____________
In a post-apocalyptic near future, there exists a single society: Strata - a totalitarian dystopia ruled by a charismatic and manipulative figurehead, wherein its denizens must adhere to strict conformity or be subject to execution or banishment. Beyond its borders is the outskirts - the wasteland that is the rest of the world. Starving and poor, for those on the outside it's every man for himself, as Strata's elite mercenaries (known as shepherds) are sent not only to keep the 'skirts out, but to prevent and destroy any forming civilizations or organized society. Knell, a shepherd defector, now living among the 'skirts, is being hunted by her former fellow enforcers. When she and her companion, Scrap, a mentally unhinged vagabond-warrior who raised herself alone on the outside, must fight back -- they become Strata's prime targets.
