Lowell, one of the few remaining ecologists after Earth's plant life has died out, tends a fragile greenhouse aboard an orbital station with the quiet company of his android caretakers. When station command orders the garden demolished to make room for lucrative cargo operations, he refuses, determined to protect the living archive that could someday restore a devastated world. His stand pits him against the crew and administration, leaving only his mechanical companions to share his cause as tensions mount.
