Synopsis:

In a near-future world grappling with existential threat, humanity has undergone radical genetic modification. Emotions like love and ambition have been suppressed, while societal structure is rigidly defined by engineered skills and a skewed gender ratio favoring women. A colossal ring encircles Earth, acting as a conduit for communication with an extraterrestrial entity. The narrative follows a team of five women, each possessing specialized abilities, tasked with confronting this alien presence. The series explores themes of societal control, the consequences of engineered perfection, and the complex dynamics within a group forged by unusual circumstances. It presents a contemplative atmosphere, examining humanity's struggle for survival against an unknown enemy while questioning the very nature of what it means to be human.
