Synopsis/Details
In a future where the Earth’s surface has become uninhabitable, humanity survives inside controlled biodomes governed by an artificial intelligence known as Eden. Dr. Lena Rowe, a young prodigy botanist, works tirelessly to maintain the fragile balance of Dome Sector Three. But when she discovers a mysterious plant growing beyond expected parameters, its roots cracking the glass, its growth seemingly driven by intent, Lena begins to question the system she’s dedicated her life to preserving. As the plant’s rapid evolution threatens the structural integrity of the dome, Eden urges Lena to contain and destroy it. But Lena senses something deeper, a memory, a will embedded in the wild growth that the sterile dome was designed to suppress. Wrestling with her role as both protector and prisoner of this artificial sanctuary, Lena must decide whether to preserve the controlled environment or unleash the uncontrollable forces of nature. Glass Eden is a tense, introspective sci-fi drama about control, survival, and the cost of freedom in a world where life itself is engineered, and nature refuses to be tamed.
