Clint must grow and mature to keep the ones he loves safe, all the while dealing with the natural feelings and dilemmas an impressionable teenager is bound to have. This, coupled with his hopes of finding a better world, is what drives him. But what will happen when his own need for revenge and his instinct to survive drive him in the opposite direction?
