For the Non -Intachden, Fallout Two centuries after nuclear warfare between the US and China, civilization destroyed in 2077-an alternative history version of 2077, in which nuclear technology heralded a retrofuturistic society after the Second World War. Some happy survivors sought refuge in different underground safes; Others were left to compensate for a lean existence on the highly radioactive surface.
In S1 we met Lucy Maclean (Ella Purnell), a young woman whose safe is attacked by surface -residents. The Raiders kill many vault -residents and kidnap her father Hank (Kyle Maclachlan), so the sheltered Lucy goes looking for him. Life on the surface is quite brutal, but Lucy learns quickly. Along the way she finds an ally (and love interest) in Maximus (Aaron Moten), a squire that presents itself as a knight of the brotherhood of steel. And she runs Afoul from a Gunslinger and Bounty Hunter known as The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a former Hollywood actor named Cooper Howard who survived the original nuclear explosion, but the exposure to radiation changed him, well, a creep.
