In the not-so-distant future, a global catastrophe reshapes life on Earth. A dangerous biological contaminant fills the atmosphere, and over the years it wipes out nearly ninety percent of the population. With the planet poisoned, humanity seeks shelter aboard a space station that orbits Earth, carrying the hope of one day returning to a livable world.
The film unfolds during a probate hearing about the estate of [Abel Edwards], the clone of the founder of the Edwards Corporation (EC), once the premier entertainment empire of the twentieth century. The EC’s legacy spans a powerful film and television studio network and the Abel Edwards' Fantastic Wonderlands Theme Parks, all built on the characters from Edwards’s animated films. The EC began as an animatronics-heavy enterprise and has since shifted toward manufacturing humanoid robots, yet market share and sales have declined. Facing the need for a bold new direction, the company struggles to find the right path after several failed attempts. As a drastic remedy, the marketing team conceives a plan to clone their late founder, creating a genetic replica and attempting to imprint him with the same life-changing experiences that forged the original mind. It’s a high-stakes gamble on nature plus nurture, or something like it. The film introduces a cast surrounding this central figure: [Franklin Wallace], [Chairman Lowery], [Gower], [Rosemary], and [Morgan Farina].
On the clone’s 25th birthday, the reins of the company are handed over, and a two-decade surge of success follows as new leadership reshapes the business. A rival in the political arena abruptly withdraws from a Senate race, presenting an opening for Edwards to broaden his influence beyond the corporate sphere. His plan shifts from a “Celebrity Politician” to a front-running candidate, signaling a dramatic power struggle that threatens to redefine what the Edwards name can achieve. The story tracks the tension between corporate ambition and public power as the stakes rise and loyalties blur.
The Anti-Reality Organizations finally collar a scapegoat, and a cascade of losses follows: the Senate race is lost decisively, and Edwards loses his son, his seat, and his role as CEO. In a last, bold move, he seizes a space shuttle and sets course for the site of the original Able Edwards Fantastic Wonderland, embarking on a journey that may well be his end or his ultimate reset.
