Synopsis
When a shooting star crashes into a tree in primordial Halahala, it sets in motion the evolution of a world that darkly mirrors our own. In the shadow of a guiding hand, a strange dystopian future unfolds...in which trees weep, robotic birds whirr through the skies, and mad scientists grow cities from trees.
