In Harsh Realm's version of a post-apocalyptic New York City, warring families hire Hobbes (Scott Bairstow) and Pinocchio (D. B. Sweeney) as mercenaries. Their destinies appear to be controlled by a mad priest (Robert Knepper), a vault of gold, star-crossed lovers, acid rain and access to the Harsh Realm data stream.
