A man is running for his life. An army is deployed to hunt him down. He has no right to be there, he has no right to live. He is not considered human.

Alex Lewis is on a humanitarian mission. He is looking for the hunted, for whom the right to exist has been denied. He is trying to save them, to deliver them to safety, to give them a chance of life.

The year is 2058. The world’s powers have stabilised, the citizens of the newly formed super-states are living in peace and prosperity. But when humanity is a privilege of the fortunate, liberty becomes a radical idea. For those born on the wrong side of the wall surrounding the Federated States of Europe, the price of survival is unimaginably high.

When fate brings the two men together, they struggle against time, hostile forces and their own prejudices, towards a conclusion neither of them would have thought possible.

Dire Redemption is a protest against the rise of racism and xenophobia, the political and economical exploitation of ignorance fuelled by fear, and the glorification of war through misguided patriotism—wrapped into an action-packed, constantly accelerating chase.

From the rise of extreme right-wing populism, through the ineptitude of an often only nominal opposition that is not willing to take action or even responsibility, to the oft-unspoken racism found in all aspects of everyday life, the story’s world and characters represent the emergent issues of our present time and reality.
