''Boneshaker'' is set in 1880 Seattle, which has been walled off after a [[Deadly Gas]] was released from underground by Dr. Leviticus Blue, inventor of the eponymous [[Drill Tank]], who then vanished under highly-suspicious circumstances. His son Zeke Wilkes enters the poisoned city in search of evidence that will clear the family name, and his mother Briar pursues to get him back—both find themselves in peril from Seattle's undead inhabitants, and a sinister figure calling himself Minnericht who may well be Zeke's [[Disappeared Dad]]. |
