Centuries after genetic engineering on the Moon caused plant life to awaken and obliterate human civilization, Earth is dominated by sentient mutant forests. In Neutral City, human survivors maintain a cautious armistice with the botanical entities. While foraging for water, adventurous youth Agito discovers a cryogenic stasis pod containing Toola, a girl preserved from the pre-apocalyptic era. When militarized human remnants manipulate Toola to activate the ancient terraforming weapon Isthmus, Agito accepts genetic enhancements from the forest spirit, transforming his body to protect Toola and preserve the fragile planetary balance.
