In Swing Zone, Issue #3, tensions rise in the forest and at home. Cut off from civilization in the swing zone, Mia Blancharde grows suspicious that Coltis Lawson might be involved with a group of terrorists that threaten her city. In Freedale, a military buildup ignites a foreboding of what may yet come to pass. Mia’s fear is amplified when she discovers her brother, Colonel Zavier Blancharde, had a leading role in the military's haunting grab for power.
The expanding division between these two cities threatens access to Mia’s valuable excavation. More importantly, the contemptuous environment challenges her loyalties between home and a man she barely knows.
