Matty Roth, aspiring photojournalist, continues his one-man mission to report on the war behind the war-- the struggle of the civilians caught in this no-man's -land during the Second American Civil War. He's gone deep undercover, posing as an unskilled worker to infilitrate the ranks of Trustwell, Inc., the winner of a lucrative no-bid contract to rebuild Manhattan. Of course he suspects there is more to the situation than meets the eye, but is he prepared for exactly what he might find...or how far he needs to go to find it?

Cory Doctorow, in the introduction to this volume, says that there are two sides in every war: combatants and non-combatants. That's a good description of the central conflict of DMZ, because our protagonist, Matty Roth, doesn't seem sure as to which of those he is.
Matty gets involved with a terrorist cell. He swears to himself that it's just to get a story on illegal activity on a company that's been awarded DMZ reconstruction contracts, but he ends up getting pretty deep, and his choices have some unexpected and unfortunate outcomes.
