A six-person crew crash-lands on Eden, a world foreign to their own. Navigating this alien landscape, they encounter a civilization that defies understanding, its people existing in a state of perpetual, violent conflict. As the crew attempts communication, they are met with cruelty - a cruelty that holds a mirror to their own humanity. Beneath Eden's mysteries lies a brutal truth about the human condition.
