Using the well loved Bible story of David and Goliath, Anointed takes us to a desperate time in the future, when the United States has collapsed. A mad man sits in power, redefining the traditional order of society and enticing his subjects towards lives of self-indulgence. As the single remnant from the collapsed government, Syrus Finn sets out on a quest to replace the sitting ruler. He quickly finds himself desperate and on the verge of giving up, when he discovers Duncan, a wild and untamed boy. Could this really be God's chosen one? Extracting him from one of the brutal Child Cultivation Centers will prove to be a nearly impossible task.
All the while, war is waging, out west, against the renegade, dissident country, Pacifica, and they've brought their vile, mutation Grimm to issue a challenge. Who will take up arms and face this beast?
