Carl is provided with information about the leader of the "Saviors" organization who is committing real madness. One of his most shocking acts is the forcible detention in a secluded place of some attractive representatives of the weaker sex. He ruthlessly abuses the unfortunate girls and forces them to do unimaginable things for him and his comrades. A man who learned about the bandit's outrages does not intend to leave this unanswered, so he devises a cunning plan to expose the offender. To achieve this goal, the hero plans to organize a massive conspiracy to oust the cunning villain from his honorary position and give the responsible position to a more worthy candidate.

If it weren't for the sudden dismissal of Frank Darabont, the next part of the exciting project would have started with the story of how Rick finds an unknown soldier in a tank. According to the author's plan, this scene was supposed to be filmed on the destroyed streets of Atlanta.
