Earth looks much different in the future. Forests dominate the land. Animals gained intelligence, but didn't get along with their fellow Humans. As in the Planet of the Apes, Humans are the minority species. The best they can hope for is to be slaves.
When a mechanical golem finds a Human child bound and abandoned, it leaves the forest that it protects and takes her on a journey across their world. Can the golem help Somali find her parents? And what dangers and marvels will they encounter along the way?
