It is the year 2223. A ship flies over what used to be New York harbor. An eerie abandoned city is now flooded. The statue of Liberty, still visible. No humans can be found. Horrible giant worms attack the visitors when they land on the only remaining building above water, Manhattan College. High on a hill, is still visible to the north of the Statue of Liberty. 

In a laboratory, they find a robot named Rebekka who holds a recording of the planet's history. 
Rebekka, the scribe, tells the visitors the story of how the domino effect of global warming and the resulting wars for water and resources, led to the devastation caused by a series of local atomic wars. The radioactivity and pollution led to the destruction of the environment on Earth 1. By 2050 there's mass starvation and lack of potable water. Riots are occurring everywhere as survivors fight for the remaining food and drinkable water.

The military all over the world called, Fiefs, has taken command and built strongholds called Fiefdoms. They distribute the remaining food and water to the world populace. By 2054, scientists discover means to convert human waste into food and water capsules. 
Rebekka describes the attempts of three brave people of 2100 to save the earth – Dr. Alex Mendez, a professor of 20th century history, Dr. Jack Lee, Director of a Physics Laboratory, and Rebekka, the advanced robot. 
With new time travel technology, Alex and Rebekka return to the year 2003 to warn scientists of the domino effect of climate change and how it will change our future. They want to tell the story to a very influential scientist, Dr. Peter O'Day, to alter his negative opinion of global warming and show them what the results will be.
