• The Architect imagines a world in which humans
  are responsible for all life. Much of Earths
  flora and fauna have been wiped out by climate
  change, progress and the ravages of war.
  Humans are now responsible for choosing which
  species will live, and which will face
  extinction.

  produce real food, from real plants.

• Riley Barrett (Tiffany Hoy), head of
  De-Extinction, has a counter proposition. To
  prove the units worth in a climate of civil
  unrest, she is working to bring back a superstar
  species. Unable to procure sufficient government
  funds, she must privately fund this creature,
  offering to genetically modify it to promote
  brands in return for sponsorship.
