Synopsis

An alien starship the size of an asteroid enters the solar system "requesting" that earth supply 2,000 colonists to inhabit an idyllic environment within, as it progresses on its mysterious journey. "Human nature" takes over, however, and the colony rapidly experiences its own allegorical fall from grace.
