SYNOPSIS:

Following an untreatable and incurable global pandemic brought about by extraterrestrial contact combined with subsequent world wars and natural disasters, humankind has been wiped out.

100,000 years later, high above the ground in the branches of giant sequoia trees, a tic-tac shaped structure is oddly out of place. Inside, complex far-advanced technology comes alive. The bodies, minds and memories of eight humans from differing racial-ethnic backgrounds are recreated via a molecular-level biogenetic 3D printing process. Nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, organelles, cytoplasm, skin tissue, nerves, arteries, bones, muscles and ligaments all combine to form perfect replications of the pre-alien pandemic humans; four women and four men.

Among them are DOLMA (22), a shy but compassionate Tibetan woman; SAGER (28), a mentally and physically strong man from Kuwait; FREYJA (26), a rational western-cultured Icelandic woman; REN (27), a conflicted and paranoid man from Japan; KARINGAL (24), a wise holistic healer female of Aboriginal decent from Australia; DAVID (30), a serious, to-the-point man from Israel; IFEOMA (25), a sensitive botanist Nigerian woman; and AARAV (26), a humorous, passive Hindu man from West Bengal, India.

Soon, an unseen entity calling itself “I AM” speaks to them, informing that 100,000 years have passed and the Earth has naturally healed itself, erasing all signs that humans ever existed. Vibrant flora and fauna thrive in an environment where there is no pollution and no disease; only peace and harmony among the birds, animals and fish that call new Earth home.

The eight are further informed that their mission is to begin repopulating humankind onto the new Earth as a place of harmony, purity, and unity. A world where pollution and disease are nonexistent, where the differences of race and ethnicity are replaced over time by a single, peaceful human species coexisting in perfect balance with the Earth.

Following days of harsh lessons and revelations from the invisible “I AM” the eight are released onto a lush, rewilded Eden devoid of civilization’s remnants. Their new Earth journey begins as they grapple with survival, cultural conflict, reproductive ethics, and the haunting specter of humanity’s past. With no shared religion, history, or ideology beyond what lives in their inherited memory, they must negotiate not just how to survive—but who to become.

This journey of self-governance, interpersonal conflict, and spiritual uncertainty culminates in a choice: to reject the technological legacy that doomed their predecessors—or risk unlocking forbidden knowledge to reshape the future.

The Second Coming explores urgent questions about identity, choice, and moral reinvention. It interrogates whether humanity deserves a second chance—and whether we can break the cycles that undid us before. The story is inclusive by design, globally resonant, and layered for adaptation across multiple mediums.
