The world is brutal. The weak are abused and die, and the strong are the ones who remain.
Yet the strong are the ones who are mad.
And where madness reigns and all good men meet tragic ends, Thatch is but a child.
Alone, weak, and struggling to survive, he becomes the foremost witness to the brutality of men.
And he would surpass all of them one day, in madness and brutality, in kindness and sincerity.
And he would change the world.
For better or for worse.
