The Earth has been destroyed by nuclear war and something generations ago called The Great Fire. The remnants of human society have banded together to form Camp New Hope, and the survivors fight against radioactive creatures they refer to as Haedra. During one of these skirmishes, Diana is awoken from a machine where she has slumbered for centuries. She finds no familiar faces, just familiar skeletons of her fallen comrades. As she pieces together the nature of the disaster, she decides humanity’s best hope may be in venturing to Themyscira, which surely survived the nuclear war.

In what seems like a utopia, a declining birth rate has been met with regulation on families that includes certifying who can be parents. This certification process involves inspectors who are children themselves, and their goal is to test prospective parents for fitness to determine who is capable and qualified to raise the next generation of citizens. The inspectors stay with the family for two weeks to discover aptitude and suss out any potential abusers. As the story opens up, an ace inspector is assigned to a couple who have previously failed inspection multiple times, but their circumstances prove to make this assignment very unusual.

A deadly power lurks in Ganta, and a prisoner being held in solitary in G-Ward may have answers, including more information about the mysterious Red Man who actually murdered all of Ganta's classmates. But, G-Ward isn’t on any known maps, and nobody seems to know of its existence. Shiro and Ganta’s semi-prisoner friend help break a way into the secret ward where a prisoner known as “Crow” is locked up. He refers to Ganta as “Woodpecker” and reveals little else except that he and Ganta share the same mysterious powers in their blood.
