The year is 2500 and overpopulation has brought the planet to collapse. Resources are scarce and conflicts over territorial control are endless. The ruling elite make a drastic decision.
In the darkest of secrets, they develop a synthetic virus capable of sterilising the human race. Loaded on a covert missile, it is launched into the atmosphere to disperse in a fine, invisible aerosol.
The microscopic particles attach themselves to growing crops, contaminating fruits, vegetables and grains intended for human consumption. No one suspects that food has become a lethal carrier.
As people eat their poisoned crops, the virus acts silently, generation after generation, causing global infertility. Soon, no babies will be born.
Decades later, as the last of the elders perish, the genocidal conspiracy has triumphed. The desolate Earth lies in ruins, with vast wastelands and abandoned cities.
The antidote created to benefit the powerful has failed, as the virus has mutated.
Nature, relentless, reclaims her throne. Where once there was civilisation, pristine forests once again sprout on a planet stripped of its most lethal threat: humanity itself.
