500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE, EARTH IS NO LONGER POPULATED BY HUMANS. 
 
The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo Sapiens, all of their work will be undone. 
 
They decide to raise one final child; a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth. 
 
But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected; and there is more to humanity's history than she has been told.
