As pressures mount, fractures appear, both in the political leadership of New Las Vegas and among the tight-knit community of Outriders. As the pressure continues to grow, the mysterious goal of the "Drainers" finally comes into focus. Only then do the Outriders realize how dangerous the situation really"--
