Deep in the Nigerian rainforest lies the mythical kingdom of Edem. Where locals say, in the beginning two humans once lived but were banished. The Creator seeing how gracious the trees were; decided not to destroy the Earth but to make his trees in his own image. They begged for forgiveness but the Creator declined Adam in anger, yet took pity on Eve. When offered an alternative destiny, Eve sacrificed her humanity and became one with the world of Edem. Adam was banished in eternal exile. Upon re-entering the kingdom, Eve became Emem - Mother Earth. And so the world of Edem was created with Edem being the natural source to life on Earth. However, Edem is in grave danger. Oil spills are destroying it’s very infrastructure. The prophecy of the Son of Adam returning to save the kingdom comes to light as Andrew; the son of an oil rig owner gets lost in the rainforest and finds his way at Edem’s doorstep. As the oil’s destruction spreads, Andrew must make a decision - follow his destiny and be Edem and Earth’s salvation or disregard it’s imminent peril.
