In a distant future humanity has faced and overcome a devastating event. Three hundred years ago, scientists were trying to genetically engineer plants as part of an earth rejuvenation project but the experiment went horribly wrong. The growing plants, which were being tested on the moon, took over and sent shoots through space to attack the earth.
In this new world, a shattered moon shines down on the earth and the forest is alive and has taken over the planet. The humans who are left have learned to live with the forest, depending on it for water since it controls that, and trying to live peacefully beside it. There are those, however, who feel they shouldn’t have to live with the forest and are trying to find a way to wipe the planet clean of all plant life.
When Agito, a young man who lives in the city and is dedicated to living peacefully with the forest, slips past the Druids which guard the forest, he finds something unusual. Deep underground, buried in twisted roots and plant life, he finds a gigantic glowing box. He opens a section and discovers a girl who had been put in cryogenic stasis before the plants took over the earth.
Toola is amazed that the world has changed so much, and although she sees that humanity has found a way to survive, she is at first convinced that it is an abomination. She joins forces with the people living in the opposing city, certain that they can restore the planet to what it once was. But Agito, who has become attached to her, follows her to the other city and tries to convince her to come back with him.
Toola must make a choice between Agito’s world and the one she remembers. She has to decide if she too can coexist and live peacefully beside nature or follow through with her plan to wipe out every living green thing.
