The Blast

A desolate coal region becomes the breeding ground for catastrophe. The year is 2019 in the small town of Mahanoy City where drugs are king. The McGrath clan, five siblings with evil roots in the town, begin an enterprise based on the manufacture of meth. But this isn’t your everyday drug. Jim McGrath, a genius despite his family’s reputation, concocts a special meth called Super Tina. Can it be too good to be true? Enter Greater Mahanoy City; year 2023. It’s been 4 years since The Blast occurred that wiped out the Northeast PA coal region. The area has been rebuilt by government efforts and the city has become a utopia. Life is wonderful here until one day in August changes everything. Secrets of the past and its descent into drugs resurface with a vengeance. It starts with a starving, naked vagrant who appears near the town dump. Just what is the new, former coal region hiding that plunges this brightly lit world into a dark hell where man becomes food and suffering is on the menu?
