Unaccustomed to the wonders of the natural world, she is astonished at the beautiful, scented, starlit world around her…and can hear the happy sounds of a wedding party in the nearby house. She climbs down from the tree, and it is here that the battle to save humanity and planet earth itself from the horrific future she has experienced, begins…
