Following the collapse of Western governments, the resource-rich countries of the Middle East grew in power. They formed a powerful union called the “Middle Eastern Regional Regime” (M.E.R.R.). They began to invest in nuclear fusion, which allowed them to operate from isolated dome-cities, as the natural world around them became deserted beyond repair. 

At the dawn of the 22nd century, a family of seasonal foresters is offered the opportunity of a lifetime to work on the Middle Eastern Regional Regime’s flagship reforestation project. With new technologies at their disposal, they set out to transform a dying forest on the edge of the desert into a forested utopia. Soon, the family finds itself at the center of attention as the forest's inhabitants resist the coming change.
