Story

In the year 2306 AD, hardly any plant-life remains on the Earth. Humans continue using fire as a source of warmth and energy. Fear of global warming had since been destroyed due to the numerous technological advances that had been made throughout time. However, a terrorist organization known as the Green Revival, still believing that global warming is a threat, begin an assault on various major cities in the world. Rather than using weaponry as their form of offense, instead they use their bioweapons; genetically modified plants, that are capable of stealing the life energy from somebody.

A man known as Aduro, a poor man who works at a factory to try and earn enough money to feed himself, is the only survivor when the plants invade New York. After seeing one of the plants set on fire from the flames in the factory, he decides to combat against the Green Revival.
