Love makes the world go 'round and all, but what happens if that world is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, like in Blood Red Road? Things get a bit more complicated.
Raised in a rather unconventional home, or heroine Saba holds little hope for romantic love, but she takes comfort in her insanely tight bond with her twin brother Lugh. Yeah, until Lugh gets kidnapped. Cue red alarms. As Saba searches for Lugh, however, she finds herself feeling more love more than ever thanks to a talkative thief named Jack—though Saba doesn't accept these feelings without putting up a fight.
