Thousands of years have passed since the Great Choice. Humanity has multiplied into the billions, spreading across a lush, hyper-vibrant Earth that has never known drought, famine, or death. In this world, Adam and Eve still walk among their descendants as the eternal "Progenitors," serving as the living links between the Creator and a species that has never known the concept of "good and evil." But a "Perfect World" faces its own unique challenges. With no death, the Earth is reaching its physical capacity. The Progenitors must now lead humanity toward the next phase of the Divine Plan: the stewardship of the stars. The series follows the First Family as they navigate a society built on pure curiosity and communal love, while an ancient, restless shadow—the same one that failed in the Garden—begins to realize that if it cannot make man fall, it will try to make him bored.
