The Wintermen

The Wintermen is a near-future, climate-changed western, with snow machines riding into town and a showdown in the snow.

Johnny Slaught and his Algonquin buddy Chumboy Commando didn?t set out to lead one of the most notorious bands of rebels in recent history. But after the world descends into climate change chaos, the government does some serious triage, forcing wide-scale evacuations and abandoning rural areas to the non-stop snow.

Soon enough, Slaught is forced by circumstance to stand up to the muscle of TALOS Security Corporation, setting in motion a rebellion of average folks fighting to rebuild their lives in the abandoned snow-scape of the northland.

As TALOS sees it, Slaught and his Wintermen are a dangerous bunch of resistant fighters threatening control over the resource-rich hinterlands. TALOS, protecting their control and financial bottom line, are taking the Wintermen resistance very seriously. And so the hunt is on, with souped-up snow machines and heavy-duty firepower. To face off against TALOS? ruthless mercenary contractors, Slaught deploys a mixture of scrap snow-machines, gasoline and the military wisdom of Subcommander Marcos, backed-up by a ragtag community of bible-thumping seniors, a hippy midwife, a couple of gay stoners and Chumboy?s mystical Auntie. Forget the western. Welcome to the Northern!
