As seen the the nicely done Day After Tomorrow *golf clap* there's been a bit of a ecological boo boo and now the world has shifted dramatically in every possiable way. In the U.S., which is where the story line is based, everything above the Mexican boarder is basically ice bound or suffering from a series of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and the ever popular "Someone forgot to turn off the Nuclear reactor before the ice storm hit so it blew up."

Mexico itself hasn't faired to well, earthquakes along the fault lines have pretty much leveled Mexcio City and the surrounding environs creating even more tent cities, health problems, and unrest. The Mexcian govenment and the U.S. government are at an uneasy truce and it seems likely that there will be some sort of action, possiably military, to join the two into one government under mostly U.S. leadership. Large corporations are spilt on this, and have their own agenda.
But, with chaos comes opportunity, and while most people are scrabbling to survive some are out looting the Home of the Free, and of course being shot for it when caught.
However a few people have obtained a covented "Salvage License", stamped by both governments, which allows the license holder to accept contracts to "reaquire" items of national, corporate, government or personal intrest for a finders fee. If, by chance, some other items are recovered as well then there is a hefty black market for them.
Susan "Mama" Brody has such a licence and the cold weather gear to go with it into the north and recover medical supplies needed in the south from a drug warehouse in Texas. But Mama thinks that bone has probably already been picked clean and has two other alternative sites for the needed supplies.
