Mankind is struggling to survive beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, away from the deadly threats outside. People and animals who have been exposed to the poisonous substances filling the skies have become mutants who stalk the catacombs searching to devour the living.

The survivors fight against each other for the remaining resources instead of standing together to fight the more dangerous foe. They all covet the ultimate weapon which is a powerful doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. Civil war among the survivors seems imminent and might lead to the end of humanity.
