A poignant sci-fi parable about environmental stewardship and isolation, where a solitary ecologist's bond with his robot companions becomes his only solace against a world that has abandoned nature.

After the entire flora goes extinct, ecologist Lowell maintains a greenhouse aboard a space station for the future with his android companions. However, he rebels after being ordered to destroy the greenhouse in favor of carrying cargo, a decision that puts him at odds with everyone but his mechanical companions.
