When botanist Ethan Cole emerges from Hawaii's Kazumura Cave after weeks of isolated research, he finds a world reduced to silence. A mysterious virus has swept the globe, turning humanity to dust and leaving only echoes of civilization behind. Amid the ruins, bioluminescent plants pulse with an eerie light, thriving in a landscape where nature is reclaiming what was lost.

As reality begins to fracture—rifts tearing through the fabric of existence—Ethan discovers that these glowing organisms may hold the key to understanding the catastrophe. Joined by Kalia, a young girl with an uncanny connection to the plants and a cryptic artifact, he navigates a world where science and the supernatural collide. Together, they uncover a chilling truth: the virus might not be humanity's end, but its evolution—or its erasure.

Haunted by visions of a planet reborn without humankind, Ethan and Kalia face a desperate choice: fight to preserve what remains of their species or embrace a transformation that could heal the Earth at an unthinkable cost. In a race against collapsing reality, they confront forces both terrestrial and cosmic, where survival hinges on deciphering the whispers of a world that no longer belongs to them.

Dust of the Forgotten is a haunting tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the fragile bond between humanity and nature, set in a universe teetering on the edge of renewal or oblivion.
