Deadbeat Kevin Jones finds himself kidnapped to an alternative reality where Wales is the single global superpower. Abducted from his mundane existence by the mysterious Gwen, she tells him there are forces seeking his destruction - he has to run or die. It turns out Kevin' s story holds the key to why all worlds but ours turn out the way they do - Pax Cambria. Featuring a host of mysterious characters, cheese-on-toast based fast food, alt-right druids and the deadly all-knowing Taffia, Anthracite begins the battle to address the woeful lack of Welsh themed comedy cyberpunk. The fearsome Jones-Corporation might run the world but they have a dirty little secret they don' t want to get out. Swansea has never looked more like near-future LA. It' s already got the rain.

No sheep.
