Matewan is a small, historically poor pre-War town in one of the most historically poor areas of the United States. Although originally founded as a coal-mining town, Matewan soon grew outdated following the advent of nuclear power. Following the Great War, however, Matewan became an important location in the area, as it was here that coal once again became a viable source for fuel. Now, Matewan is secure and is one of the wealthiest towns in the region, although it is rocked by internal strife between the coal mining company and the traders who move the coal along the railroads and rivers of the region.

- The year is 1921, and trouble is brewing in the town of Matewan: the workers have organised a labor union and have walked out of the mine. Enter Joe Kinhand, a former wobbly (dirty commie) and current union organiser for the United Mine Workers of West Virginia is riding a train when a group of miners attacks a group of black scabs. Baldwin-felts (Pinkerton detective) agents are called into end the union, and the stage is set for a massacre.
