In a distant future without a shred of human presence, the Earth has reclaimed its dominion, shrouding civilization in a cloak of wilderness. Hundreds, maybe thousands of years after the world perished and a select group of individuals were locked in pods, they begin to open. As humanity awakens to this new reality, they find themselves at the mercy of an untamed world teeming with life yet fraught with peril. Among the survivors is Sky, a resilient woman torn between the shadows of her past and the uncertain promise of the future. Haunted by an old love that ended in betrayal, she grapples with the weight of forgiveness and the fear of repeating past mistakes as she learns to live in this new reality. Forced to seek refuge in the canopy of towering trees to evade the predatory creatures that roam the earth at night, the survivors navigate the treacherous terrain. Their strength and resolve are tested by the unforgiving wilderness and the horrors of the dark. As they confront the external dangers, they must also confront their own bodies resistance to this environment. Struggling to adapt to this beautiful yet hostile land, humanity is confronted with the grim reality of their own culpability in the planet's decline as they learn that the very air they breathe poses a lethal threat, imperiling their numbered existence. As Sky navigates the delicate balance between the rules of safety and the needs of the colony, she uncovers disturbing truths about the past and present. Sky must confront the past to embrace the future, forging a path forward in a world where hope blooms amidst the ruins.
