For thousands of years, mankind had lived in harmony with nature. But that harmony is now lost as we continue to pollute and rape the planet for our individual greed and material possession.

Now, something is happening to our species. Planet Earth is fighting back, and it’s taking away our advantage — Humankind’s intelligence. The World Health Organization must find out what is happening as acts of unprecedented violence sweep across the globe. But when Joceline Mercier, the head scientist, stumbles upon the answers, everything we thought we knew about our past and future changes.
With time almost up has she discovered the answers too late?
Is there anything that can be done to halt the devolution of a species?
